Upon request, our personnel can provide experienced operators who need periodical retraining and skill updating. For example, some printing plants might change from sheet-fed offset presses to digital presses. They have to retrain the entire press crew because skill requirements for the two types of presses are different.

Certification and advancement.

As printing machine operators gain experience, they may advance in pay and responsibility by working on a more complex printing press. For example, operators who have demonstrated their ability to work with a one-color sheet-fed press may be trained to operate a four-color sheet-fed press. Voluntarily earning a formal certification may also help advance a career in printing. An operator also may advance to pressroom supervisor and become responsible for an entire press crew. In addition, printing machine operators can draw on their knowledge of press operations to become cost estimators, providing estimates of printing jobs to potential customers. If a client or a crew is in need of such support our experience staff can assist the personnel in achieving these goals.
