Job Summary

Detail-driven Digital Artworker needed for translating client artwork into precise digital separations and production-ready files. Must be proficient in Adobe CSS and Caldera RIP in order to prepare films, laser-ready files, print outputs and provide handovers to the production team on time.

Job Description

We are seeking a highly organised and detail-driven Digital Artworker to act as the critical bridge between client consultation and physical print production. Your primary objective is to accurately translate client artwork into flawless digital separations and production-ready files, ensuring our printmaking team can execute the press run without technical guesswork. Working from detailed technical “Floor Sheets,” you will use Adobe Creative Suite to adapt artwork for specific print formats, output film positives, prepare files for laser cutting, and manage digital print production using Caldera RIP. This is a highly focused, technical role. You will not be asked to manage social media, run staff meetings, or coordinate floor schedules. You will be part of a streamlined workflow, working closely with the Studio Operations Manager to receive briefs, and handing off perfect digital assets and films to the Matrices Manager and Lead Printers. This position is perfectly suited for a technically proficient print professional who thrives in a highly structured, collaborative studio environment and takes deep pride in precision, file organisation, and flawless print outcomes.

Job Requirements

Minimum 2-3 years’ experience in a print production, pre-press artworking, or studio-based technical role. Advanced proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign). Demonstrable experience preparing artwork specifically for physical print processes (relief, silkscreen). Experience managing digital print workflows using RIP software (e.g., Caldera). High level of technical accuracy with exceptional attention to detail (e.g., trapping, registration marks, halftone generation). Strong organisational skills, including structured file management across shared server systems. Ability to work strictly to provided technical specifications (Floor Sheets) and tight deadlines in a fast-paced production environment. Confident communication skills to collaborate efficiently with the studio floor. Eligibility to work in the UK.
