A printer produces printed products: magazines, booklets, leaflets, business cards, catalogs and other types. In addition, the specialist performs post-printing processing of products - cutting, laminating, packaging, etc.

In addition to this, the profession of a printer includes communication with equipment: its preparation for printing, maintenance (cleaning, lubrication, troubleshooting, replacement of parts), as well as monitoring the printing process.

Places of work

The position of printer is available in all organizations related to printing:

• at printing enterprises;
• in advertising agencies;
• in design studios and other similar companies.

History of the profession

Even in ancient China, there were craftsmen who made movable words from baked clay. In the 15th century, several candidates appeared, creating movable letters and claiming the title of the first book printer, which eventually went to Johannes Gutenberg. In Russia the first printed book released by Ivan Fedorov in 1564.

Book printing began to be taught en masse at the end of the 19th century: in St. Petersburg - at the printing school of the Russian Technical Society (since 1884 - the first such educational institution of this kind in Europe) and at the school at the printing house of A. S. Suvorin, as well as in Leipzig, Paris and other cities. Around this time (the end of the 19th century) can be considered the birth of the printing profession.

Responsibilities of a Printer

The job responsibilities of a printer may vary from company to plant. So, these may include:

• silk-screen and thermal transfer printing on various machines (risograph, digital equipment, wide format plotter);
• setting up, starting and managing equipment, monitoring its technical condition;
• mixing pantone colors;
• quality control of printing and products;
• pre-press and post-press processing;
• production of photos and polymer prints.

Also, the functions of a printer may include accepting orders for quick printing, optimizing raw material costs, packaging printed copies, etc.

Requirements for a printer

The standard requirements for a printer look like this:

• secondary special education;
• experience in printing;
• knowledge of Adobe Photoshop, CorelDRAW programs;
• knowledge of printing materials;
• knowledge of machines and printing technologies (preparation, process and control of finished products).

Printer resume sample

How to become a printer

To become a printer, you need to get an education in the field of printing or printing. You can, of course, do without it (for example, get hired as a printer’s assistant) and study the basic properties of paints, methods of color correction, types of paper, machines, etc. necessary materials and equipment. In the second case, you cannot initially count on a decent salary, and later problems with employment may arise, because Diplomas are still valued and are important in employment.

Printer's salary

Depending on the work experience and qualifications of the employee wage printer's salary can vary greatly, ranging from 10 to 60 thousand rubles per month.

Of course, it depends on the enterprise and the region and on the complexity and scope of responsibilities. The average salary of a printer is about 35 thousand rubles per month.

The printing press was invented in 1453 by Johannes Gutenberg, and the first books that were printed by him were two Bibles, one of which consisted of 3 volumes and included 1762 pages.

The beginning of book printing in the Moscow state coincided with the era of Ivan the Terrible. On March 1, 1564, by order of Ivan Vasilyevich IV, the first Russian book “Apostle” was published, and Ivan Fedorov and Pyotr Mstislavets went down in history as the first Russian printers.

Since those times, the profession of a printer has not lost its demand.

While reading daily, weekly and monthly newspapers, have you ever wondered by whose hands they are created? Printer is a leading profession in the printing industry. The activity of a printer is work using knowledge about the technical requirements for printing forms, methods for adjusting papers and inks, and methods for adjusting the printing machine.

The printer loads rolls or sheets of paper into the machine, installs special plates onto which ink is applied; makes “adjustments” (so that all letters and signs are in their places), the accuracy of which can be thousandths of a millimeter; monitors the entire process and controls quality.

In addition, you need to fill the trays with the necessary ink in time and place the printing plate on the printing shaft. The number of such forms may vary, depending on how many paints are used. For printers working with color products, the process itself becomes more complicated, depending on the amount of ink used. There are four-, three-, two- and one-color machines.

The printer is the “conductor” of the process of making circulation prints. He is responsible for the operation of all blocks of the printing unit: the paper conveying system, the dampening apparatus, the inking apparatus and the printing apparatus, as well as for the quality of production prints.

The printer must subtly distinguish between colors and their shades, accurately assess the quality of the printed text and the spatial placement of the material on the prints; he needs stable and easily switchable attention (when setting up a machine and observing its operation), visual-figurative combinatorial thinking (when setting up a machine and searching for the causes of printing defects). The printer is engaged in the production of printed products: magazines, catalogs, booklets, business cards, leaflets, etc., post-printing processing: cutting, laminating, etc., as well as preparing the machine for printing, monitoring the printing process, servicing the printing machine: lubrication , cleaning, replacing old parts, troubleshooting, identifying defects, and timely delivery of orders.

A flatbed printer can work in printing enterprises, design studios, and advertising agencies.
