Design software operator

We are seeking a multi- skilled graphic design software operator to work within our wallpaper printing department. We have recently installed a Colorado M-series UV gel ink digital media printer which has the capability to print on wallpaper, gift wrap and a host of other medias. This area of our business is a growing department and more assistance is required on the software. This would entail setting up customer files ready for printing, checking that the artwork files repeat seamlessy and having a general over view of the artwork files.

What the job would entail on a daily basis:

• Opening customer supplied files in software such as Adobe photshop, Adobe Illustrator and checking to see if the customer has lined up the repeat correctly, and the file is suitable for printing on our machinery.
• Emailing and phone calls with customers to explain what is required from the artwork, and guide them if there is any confusion
• Once files are set up, ripping the files to the print machine ready for the print department to produce the order
• Sometimes, you would be required to have a knowledge on how to set up the customer supplied files for print for the textile side of the business
• Be involved in daily production meetings and be involved with a wider team to ensure that the production process is running as smoothly as possible
• Stay up-to-date with the production of orders, and follow a queue of processing the orders as quickly and as precisely as you possibly can

Do you have experience in Graphic design?, Do you have a GCSE?, * Experience in Adobe software, mainly Photoshop and Illustrator (Training will be provided)

• Experience in setting up files for murals and wallpaper would be highly beneficial
• Knowledge of repeating patterns, colour matching and print profiles
• Excellent visual design skills with an eye for detail
• Ability to work collaboratively in a team environment
• Good communication skills to be able to speak to customers via email and over the phone, occasionally face to face in meetings.
• Please note, this is not a artistically creative job , it is a production based job
