Experienced Screen Printing Operator – Automatic Press*** $1,000 SIGN-ON BONUS ***
PromoCentric is hiring experienced Screen Print Operators to join a fast-paced production team.
This role involves setup, registration, and operation of automatic presses (M&R), working as part of a disciplined production team focused on quality and on-time delivery.

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 ResponsibilitiesAutomatic 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.
