Experienced Screen-Printing Operator – Automatic Press
PromoCentric, Inc., Newmarket, NH, United States
Experienced Screen Printing Operator – Automatic Press
Department:
Production
Reports To:
Production Manager
Type:
Full‑time
Role Summary
We are seeking an
experienced Automatic Press Screen Printing Operator
to run high‑volume production on automatic screen‑printing presses. This role owns
setup, registration, print quality, throughput, and press discipline . If quality drifts, output slows, or a press goes down—this role is accountable for stopping production and escalating issues correctly.
This is not an entry‑level position. We are looking for an operator who understands
process, repeatability, and production pressure
and can run an auto press without supervision.
Core Responsibilities
Automatic Press Operation
Set up, register, and operate automatic screen‑printing presses according to job specifications and approved samples
Load screens in proper sequence and achieve fast, accurate registration
Set and maintain off‑contact, squeegee pressure, flood bars, stroke, and press speeds
Mix and manage inks to approved formulas, maintaining viscosity, color accuracy, and opacity
Maintain consistent print quality throughout the production run—no drifting, no “good enough”
Quality Ownership
Produce and submit first articles for approval before full production
Monitor prints continuously during the run (registration, color density, ink coverage)
Pull samples at defined intervals and
stop production immediately
if quality falls out of spec
Do not push bad work through to protect speed or counts
Throughput & Execution Discipline
Run the press at agreed‑upon production speeds without sacrificing quality
Execute jobs
in released sequence ; do not self‑reorder work
Communicate immediately if anything threatens sustained output or on‑time delivery
Maintain clean handoffs to stacking, finishing, and downstream teams
Press Care & Maintenance
Perform routine preventative maintenance on presses, dryers, and related equipment
Clean, inspect, and lubricate equipment as scheduled
Identify developing mechanical issues early and escalate before downtime occurs
Maintain a clean, organized, production‑ready press area
Required Experience & Skills
3+ years operating automatic screen‑printing presses
Proven ability to set up and register multi‑color jobs efficiently
Strong understanding of inks, mesh counts, emulsions, and curing requirements
Ability to maintain quality at speed in a production environment
Detail‑oriented, process‑driven, and comfortable being held to standards
Ability to stand for extended periods and lift up to 50 lbs
Preferred (Nice to Have)
Experience with high‑volume or multi‑press production environments
Familiarity with documented production procedures and quality standards
Ability to assist with press troubleshooting and minor mechanical adjustments
What Success Looks Like
Jobs start on time and run predictably
First articles are approved quickly
Print quality stays locked in from first piece to last
Press downtime is minimized
No surprises passed downstream
Why This Role Matters
Automatic presses drive the entire production schedule. This role directly impacts:
On‑time delivery
Rework and waste
Customer satisfaction
Overall shop throughput
If you take pride in
tight setups, clean prints, and disciplined execution , you’ll do well here.
