Screen Printing Production Specialist
Infinite Studios — Dixon, CA
Pay: $22.00–$30.00 per hour
Job Type: Part-Time leading into Full-Time
Location: In-person — Dixon, CA
About Infinite Studios:
Infinite Studios is a growing custom apparel and merchandise production shop based in Dixon, California. We work with businesses, clothing brands, schools, teams, organizations, and individuals to bring their ideas to life through high-quality custom production.
We are looking for a Screen Printing Production Specialist to join our team and become a key part of our day-to-day production.
This is a hands-on position for someone who enjoys working in a production environment, takes pride in their work, and wants the opportunity to grow with a small but expanding company.
What You'll Be Doing
Your primary responsibility will be screen printing production, including:
- Setting up and operating manual and automatic screen printing presses
- Registering multi-color print jobs
- Mixing, handling, and managing inks
- Loading and unloading garments efficiently
- Monitoring print quality throughout production runs
- Operating flash dryers and conveyor dryers
- Breaking down jobs and cleaning equipment
- Screen preparation, reclaiming, and general screen-room work as needed
- Catching print defects and correcting problems before they become larger production issues
- Maintaining a clean and organized production area
- Assisting with general shop production when needed
What We're Looking For
Previous screen printing experience is strongly preferred.
Ideally, you are already comfortable working in a production screen printing environment and understand the basics of registration, ink, screens, curing, garment placement, and quality control.
We're looking for someone who:
- Has experience with manual and/or automatic screen printing
- Pays close attention to detail
- Works efficiently without sacrificing quality
- Is dependable and shows up ready to work
- Can follow established production processes
- Is comfortable working independently once trained
- Can troubleshoot common printing and production problems
- Keeps their workspace clean and organized
- Is willing to learn and improve
- Takes ownership of the quality of the work leaving their station
Experience with both manual and automatic presses is a major plus.
Physical Requirements
This is an active production position. You should be comfortable:
- Standing for extended periods
- Repeating production movements throughout the day
- Lifting boxes of garments and production supplies
- Working around inks, cleaning chemicals, dryers, and production equipment
- Working in a fast-paced shop environment
Compensation & Growth
We are looking for someone who can eventually become a reliable, independent member of our screen printing department.
Starting pay: $22/hour
The initial period will be used to evaluate experience, production speed, print quality, reliability, and how independently you can operate.
Once you demonstrate that you can consistently handle production independently, pay can increase to approximately $25/hour.
For an experienced, highly dependable screen printer who can independently set up, run, troubleshoot, and maintain production at a high level, there is room to grow toward $30/hour.
We care much more about finding the right long-term person than simply filling a position.
Schedule
Why Work With Infinite Studios?
Infinite Studios isn't a massive production facility where you're just another person standing at a press.
We're a growing independent shop working on everything from local businesses and organizations to clothing brands and creative projects. You'll have the opportunity to see a wide variety of work, develop your skills, take on more responsibility, and grow alongside the company. We do just about everything in the shop. We aren't just another print shop. We do screenprinting, embroidery, laser engraving, DTF/Heat Press, stickers and banners, cut and sew sourcing, in house brand, and in house blanks are currently in production.
If you're someone who takes pride in producing great work and wants to be part of building something, we'd like to hear from you.
To Apply
Please submit your resume along with a brief description of your screen printing experience.
If possible, include:
- How many years you've been screen printing
- Whether you've worked on manual presses, automatic presses, or both
- The types of jobs you've typically printed
- Any experience with setup, registration, screen preparation, reclaiming, or production troubleshooting
We're especially interested in hearing from applicants who are already comfortable working independently in a screen printing production environment.
