At AlphaGraphics Bloomington, we turn files into finished print every day, and we're looking for a Digital Print Production Operator to help us do it well. We're hiring part-time to start, with a real opportunity to move into a full-time role as you grow with us. This is a hands-on role for someone who's detail-oriented, curious, and ready to build a lasting career in print. A background in print or production is a real plus, and we'll help you grow from there. Alongside our digital printers, you'll also help produce large-format work like banners, signs, and vehicle graphics — with the chance to learn installation down the road, so there's room to keep growing. You're based at our Bloomington office, with a real possibility of picking up hours at our Apple Valley location as well — so we're looking for someone open to working at both. You'll join a tight-knit crew that takes real pride in quality work and genuinely enjoys the day-to-day. We work hard, back each other up, and leave plenty of room for humanity, fun, and a fair bit of laughter. What you’ll do Set up and run our cut-sheet digital printers to produce color and black-and-white jobs — accurately, efficiently, and to a high standard. Proof every job against the work order before it runs, and quality-check as you go to keep waste and redos low. Calibrate the printers and match colors precisely to client Pantone specs and previous jobs, watching consistency across the entire run. Help produce our large-format work too — banners, signs, decals, vehicle graphics, and wall murals. This is a core part of the role, with the opportunity to learn installation down the road. Keep our equipment healthy — routine maintenance, cleaning, logs, and coordinating with service techs when a machine needs more. Track job status, materials, and inventory in our production system so the whole team knows where things stand. Keep your workspace clean, organized, and safe. What we’re looking for Experience or a background in print or a production environment — it's a real benefit in this role and will help you get up to speed quickly. A sharp eye for detail and color, and pride in getting things right the first time. Comfort juggling several jobs at once and keeping them organized under deadline. A reliable, team-first attitude — you show up, follow through, and help out. Willing to work at both our Bloomington and Apple Valley locations, with reliable transportation to each. Basic computer comfort; you'll learn our specific print software (Fiery Command Workstation) on the job. Able to stand, lift, and move materials throughout the shift. Nice to have Familiarity with Fiery / Command Workstation, file imposition, or bindery. Graphic design skills. Customer service experience. What we offer Pay: $19–$23/hour , depending on experience. Part-time to start — 20+ hours/week, Monday–Friday. No nights, no weekends. Real potential to grow into a full-time role. Hands-on training across digital and large-format printing — with a path to learn installation, too. Career-path development — a place to build a career, not just clock a shift. A supportive, collaborative team that values humanity, fun, and laughter. #J-18808-Ljbffr
