We are a growing DTF business looking for a reliable, detail-oriented DTF Print Operator & Pre-Press Technician to join our team on-site.

Strong technical troubleshooting ability for physical machine adjustments and digital files.
Excellent organization skills with an eye for detail and color accuracy.
Ability to lift up to 20kg (for heavy film rolls and ink supplies).

Operate DTF printing equipment to produce vibrant, durable prints.
Prepare substrates and materials for printing processes.
Maintain and troubleshoot printing machinery to ensure optimal performance.
