Basildon, Essex | Competitive salary (based on experience)

Job Description: Digital Press & Finishing Operator (Konica Minolta Specialist)

Department: Print Production

Reports To: Production Manager / Shift Supervisor

Employment Type: Full-Time

Position Overview

We are looking for a skilled and quality-driven Digital Press & Finishing Operator with hands-on experience running Konica Minolta AccurioPress systems and integrated digital finishing equipment. In this role, you will manage projects from digital file intake through high-speed printing to the final bound, cut, or folded product.

The ideal candidate understands how to maintain precise colour management, troubleshoot high-volume toner systems, offline finishing systems to deliver flawless commercial print products.

Key Responsibilities

1. Konica Minolta Press Operation

Set up, program, and operate Konica Minolta production presses (e.g., AccurioPress series) using Fiery Command WorkStation or proprietary print servers.
Utilize automated tools like the IQ-601 Intelligent Quality Optimizer to ensure perfect front-to-back registration and consistent colour density.
Monitor machine performance, handle paper path clears, and manage consumables (toner, developer, rollers).

2. Digital Finishing & Post-Press Production

Configure and monitor integrated inline finishing modules for seamless, one-pass production (including booklet makers, square-folders, slitters, and creasing units).
Set up and safely operate offline/near-line finishing machinery such as automated programmable guillotines, creasers and binding equipment (saddle-stitch, coil/wire).
Adjust calibrations on finishing equipment to ensure precise margins, sharp folds, and clean trims without damaging the toner.

3. Quality Control & File Prep

Review and interpret electronic job tickets, checking for correct stock weights (ranging from light text bonds up to heavy 350+ gsm cover stocks).
Perform continuous "first-off" and inline quality checks to inspect for banding, colour drift, alignment errors, scuffing, or cracking on folds.
Ensure all finished products match client specifications exactly before packaging.

Technical Qualifications & Experience

Experience: For operating digital presses and various finishing equipment.
Brand Expertise: Direct experience with Konica Minolta AccurioPress machines
Finishing Skills: Proficient with high-end finishing operations, including booklet making, folding, scoring etc.
Software: Strong working knowledge of digital front ends (DFE) like EFI Fiery for file imposition, queue management, and colour profiles.

Key Skills & Traits

Mechanical Aptitude: Comfortable performing basic preventative maintenance (cleaning sensors, replacing standard wear parts) and troubleshooting misfeeds.
Sharp Eye for Detail: Ability to spot minor alignment issues, colour variations, or finishing defects instantly.
Urgency & Efficiency: Capable of managing multiple project streams concurrently in a fast-paced, dead-line-driven environment.
Experience with Adobe Creative Suite & Pitstop Pro: This is a Must
