LEAD PRESS OPERATOR
Lancaster Print House is looking to hire an enthusiastic, self-motivated, press operator for our 14-color automatic press. This position does require experience. LPH prints a lot of higher color count, detailed images so you must have a minimum of 2 years experience operating an automatic press. We use M&R presses but experience on other presses is fine as well.
The work we do is very rewarding to someone who enjoys the screen printing industry. You will be working with both water based and plastisol inks. We print a mix of spot color and simulated process work but more recently we are doing a lot of simulated process printing. Experience with water based inks is preferred but not necessary. We work in a fast paced shop and have a steady amount of work that will keep you busy and you will be supported by an in-training press assistant and a production manager.
Basic requirements:
• Experience running an automatic press
• Knowledge of press tools, squeegees, mesh counts, and printing equipment
• Knowledge of fabric types and cure temperatures
• Ability to setup, tear down and register prints without assistance
• Ability to multi-task
• Attention to detail and goal oriented
We are really just looking for someone who wants to work in a creative environment and wants to push themselves towards getting better everyday at their craft. We can teach you the more complex printing methods if you come from a shop that only does simple spot color work. If you are interested in this position please e-mail josh@lancasterprinthouse.com with your resume/work history, a little bit about yourself and your salary requirements.
Please note this is a full-time position only. M-F 8am-4pm with overtime as needed.
IN-HOUSE SEAMSTRESS
We are looking for a full-time in-house seamstress to head our sewing department. We print for a vast range of clothing brands who require custom neck collar sewing. We have a Juki digital machine and a friendly work environment.
Basic requirements:
• Experience and confidence running a sewing machine
• Previous industry related piece-work experience is a plus
• Ability to work at and maintain a reasonable pace
• Good communication and co-working skills
If you are interested in this position please e-mail josh@lancasterprinthouse.com with your resume. Pay is based on experience and output.
Please note this is a part-time or full-time position. M-F 8am-4pm. We currently have a part-time seamstress on staff and you could fill in to make up the rest of the hours or you are welcome to full-time hours.
