We are looking for a reliable, versatile, and experienced part-time Print Finisher / Production Assistant to join our team. This is a fast-paced, hands-on role focused entirely on post-press production. You will be taking raw output from our high-end press lineup and meticulously converting it into finished, flawless products ready for delivery.

- Substrate Mounting: Assisting with backing and mounting printed graphics cleanly onto soft and rigid sign boards (Foamex, Dibond, acrylic, magnetic rolls).
- Small Format Digital: Printing, trimming, sorting, gathering, and packing multi-page documents, booklets, and marketing collateral produced on our Xerox production presses (color and mono).
- Laser Cutting Post-Processing: Checking, cleaning, and organizing components produced on our laser cutting machinery.
- DTF Apparel Prep: Handling, peeling, and curing Direct-to-Film (DTF) transfer prints for custom clothing production.
- Quality Control & Dispatch: Managing final quality checks against job sheets, ensuring 100% accuracy, and securely packing jobs to survive courier transit.
