Print Production Specialist (Digital + Finishing Guru)


Location: Alpha Graphics Memphis
Job Type: Full-Time

About the Role


We’re looking for a highly skilled, detail-obsessed Print Production Specialist who thrives in a fast-paced environment and knows their way around both digital printing and production finishing.

This is not an entry-level role. This is for someone who can walk in, assess a job, run it, finish it, and deliver it like a pro—with minimal hand-holding and maximum pride.

If you’ve ever said, “I’ve got this” while a printer is beeping, a cutter is waiting, and a deadline is looming… we should talk.

What You’ll Do

• Operate digital production equipment (high-speed copiers, wide format printers, etc.)
• Set up, run, and monitor print jobs for accuracy and quality
• Perform finishing tasks including:
  • Cutting, trimming, folding
  • Binding (coil, comb, perfect bind)
  • Laminating and mounting
  • Padding, scoring, perforating
• Ensure color accuracy and consistency across jobs
• Troubleshoot equipment issues and maintain production flow
• Review files for print readiness (bleeds, margins, resolution, etc.)
• Prioritize and manage multiple jobs under tight deadlines
• Maintain a clean, organized production area
• Collaborate with team members to meet client expectations

What You Bring to the Table

• 2+ years experience as a Digital Print Production Operator
• Strong hands-on experience with finishing equipment and processes
• Solid understanding of print file setup (bleeds, crop marks, color modes)
• Experience with wide format printing is a big plus
• Ability to troubleshoot and problem-solve on the fly
• Strong attention to detail (you notice when something is off… and fix it)
• Ability to lift materials and stay active throughout the day
• Team player with a positive, get-it-done attitude

Bonus Points If You

• Have experience in a high-volume print shop environment
• Are familiar with RIP software and workflow systems
• Can jump between digital, wide format, and finishing without breaking stride
• Take pride in producing work that makes customers say “WOW”

Why You’ll Love Working Here

• Fast-paced, never boring environment
• Work on a wide variety of projects (no two days are the same)
• Be part of a team that values quality and craftsmanship
• Opportunities to grow and expand your skill set

The Bottom Line


We’re looking for someone who doesn’t just run prints…
You own the job from file to finished product.
