Ricoh Digital Press Operator

$18.00+ 

We are seeking a detail-oriented and technically-minded Digital Press Operator to join our production team. In this role, you will be responsible for the setup, operation, and maintenance of high-speed Ricoh digital printing systems (e.g., Pro C-Series or Pro VC-Series). You will ensure that every project meets our rigorous quality standards and tight deadlines.

This isn't a 'set it and forget it' job. You will be on your feet, moving between the RIP station and the loaders, troubleshooting color shifts in real-time, and lifting 50lb paper cases throughout the day. We thrive on high-volume energy—if you enjoy a fast-paced environment where the day flies by because you're constantly 'in the zone,' you’ll love this floor.

 

Key Responsibilities

●     Machine Operation: Set up and operate Ricoh digital presses to produce high-quality print materials. This includes monitoring paper paths, adjusting registration, and managing toner/ink levels.

●     Load and unload paper, ink, and other materials onto the press, ensuring that stock is properly aligned and ready for printing.

●     Pre-Flight & RIP: Review digital files for accuracy. Use software to manage color profiles, and send jobs to the queue.

●     Quality Control: Conduct frequent visual inspections to ensure color consistency, image sharpness, and proper alignment. Identify and troubleshoot defects like banding, spotting, or skewing.

●     Maintenance: Perform routine daily maintenance and "operator-replaceable unit" (ORU) swaps. Coordinate with Ricoh service technicians for major mechanical repairs.

●     Inventory Tracking: Monitor stock levels for paper, toner, and consumables, reporting shortages to the production lead.

●     Shift Integrity & Continuity: Our production floor relies on seamless hand-offs. You are the 'anchor' for your shift; punctuality is critical, and delays impact the entire team’s output.

●     Complete end of shift paperwork and housekeeping assignments.

 

Requirements

●     Must be able to lift up to 50 lbs repeatedly (paper cases), bend, walk and stand for extended periods.

●     Dependability: Demonstrated track record of consistent attendance. You understand that in a deadline-driven print shop, being 'on time' means being at your station and ready to roll at shift start.

Performance Ownership: We are looking for an operator who treats their press like their own business. You will be expected to proactively manage your queue, anticipate material needs before they run out, and take pride in beating daily benchmarks
