Make Every Impression Count
Help a Portland-born communications company deliver precise, on-time print—every time. We’re a locally owned team that prizes reliability, structure, and collaboration. If quality under pressure is your zone, you’ll fit right in.
The challenge
Imagine juggling several brand-critical jobs at once. A variable data mailing is spooling on a Canon press while a color-sensitive project runs on a Konica Minolta. You’re monitoring output, keeping sequence intact for finishing, and making micro-adjustments to hold color and throughput. A quick file touch-up in InDesign keeps a client’s layout on spec. You stay LEAN, escalate any mechanical hiccups, and keep priorities aligned with customer service—wrapping the day at 4:00 p.m. with targets met.

- Deliver on quantity goals and deadlines while upholding exacting quality
- Offload prints and load materials to cutters with perfect order retention
- Dial in equipment settings to sustain optimal production and color stability
- Report mechanical issues quickly to the right contacts
- Own set-up, operation, and routine maintenance across assigned equipment
