Ils effectuent la mise en train de duplicateurs, de presses offset et d’équipement sérigraphique. C’est un métier qui convient aux personnes minutieuses qui distinguent bien les couleurs et ont un bon sens de l’observation. Une carrière comme opérateur de presses commerciales exige une bonne résistance au stress et le souci du détail.
