• Follow sizing, quantity, spacing, and layout instructions accurately
• Clean up, redraw, vectorize, and improve customer artwork when needed
• Ensure artwork is properly prepared for DTF production
• Identify and correct artwork issues that could affect print quality
Production File Creation
• Prepare files for DTF printing with proper sizing and resolution
• Create clean vector artwork and production-safe line weights
• Add cut paths for Roland print/cut workflows when required
• Prepare files that can move directly into production without additional adjustments
• Replicate fonts and artwork styles accurately
Specialty Artwork
• Create clean halftones and specialty print artwork
• Prepare artwork for specialty printing applications including UV printing

• Advanced Adobe Illustrator skills
• Strong Adobe Photoshop skills
• Experience preparing artwork for DTF printing
• Strong understanding of vector artwork and production workflows
• Experience with Roland print/cut workflows

• Strong organizational skills
• Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines
• Consistently delivers accurate work with minimal rework
Preferred Qualifications
• Experience with DTF printing operations
• Color management experience
Schedule
Monday – Friday
9:00 AM – 5:00 PM Eastern Time
