The press operator is the person who actually runs the printing press, putting “ink on paper,” so to speak. Press operators must know the mechanical workings of the machine, possess good manual dexterity, and think quickly on their feet in order to produce a good quality product. Most new presses have a large number of automated or computerized features; therefore, the press operator must be comfortable around computers. In addition, the so-called digital printing presses are becoming widely available, and the digital-press operator requires an even more extensive computer background.
