Screen Printer

A Screen Printer produces printed materials using manual or machined screen printing equipment. You might use a range of printing techniques such as stencils or digital methods. Screen Printers select or mix ink and may print onto a range of materials. You might produce individual pieces or create work in large quantities.

Screen Printers should have excellent technical skills and be able to adapt their skills to suit a range of circumstances. It’s important you can work to a deadline and may spend time liaising with customers or suppliers. Screen Printers should be organised and able to follow instructions closely.
