Experienced Wide Format Operator, Print Production Facility

Columbia, MD

Posted Salary/Rate: 18.50-21.00

Whether you have a year or many years of print experience, we can provide growth opportunities and will cross train you in different functions of our Digital Print Facility. We are often asked if this role is in a store, it is not. Staples has dedicated print facilities to handle large print orders that originate from our stores. For some openings, we can be flexible to work around your schedule. Apply today so we can both see if this is a great fit for you.

As a Print Production Digital Press Specialist, you will be collaborative and inclusive in helping our customers meet their copy and print needs while being part of a fun, team-oriented culture. Our print facilities are not typically customer facing as larger orders from our stores are sent to our print facilities to complete. You'll bring industry-leading print technology within reach of Staples' most discerning customers. Utilizing large scale commercial digital presses and high-volume digital print and signage equipment, you will coordinate and prioritize all aspects of the production process focused on producing a quality printed product rapidly and efficiently.
