Company Overview Imaged Advertising Creations (IAC) is a leader in custom manufacturing and large format printing, specializing in dye sublimation fabric printing, UV roll-to-roll, and UV flatbed printing. We serve a diverse range of markets including trade shows, retail, experiential marketing, and corporate interiors. At IAC, we focus on quality, innovation, and personalized service to ensure every project meets our clients’ expectations.

Position Overview We’re looking for a detail-oriented and technically skilled Prepress Specialist to join our team. In this role, you’ll be the bridge between customer artwork and final print output — ensuring every file is production-ready, colour-accurate, and optimized for efficiency and clarity. This is a hands-on production role ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and takes pride in pixel-perfect results.

Key Responsibilities File Preparation & Quality Control Preflight client artwork to ensure correct sizing, resolution, bleed, and colour space. Apply necessary file adjustments and manipulations to ensure production-ready output. Conduct final quality checks to eliminate potential print or finishing errors.

Colour Management Perform colour matching to client-specified Pantone references or supplied targets. Maintain consistency across multiple print technologies (dye-sublimation, UV roll-to-roll, UV flatbed).

Automation & Efficiency Utilize automation and prepress workflow tools to streamline file setup and production processes. Report automation-related issues or errors to the Prepress Manager for troubleshooting.

Collaboration & Communication Work closely with Project Managers and Production team to confirm specifications and resolve discrepancies before printing. Generate, review, and send digital proofs for client approval. Occasionally assist in creating wall mural mockups or elevation drawings for visual reference.

Qualifications 1+ years of experience in a prepress or print production environment. Strong proficiency in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Acrobat, and InDesign. Understanding of colour management, RIP setup, and print workflows. Familiarity with CRM or production management software (e.g., ShopVox). Experience with Caldera or large-format printing is an asset. Excellent attention to detail, organization, and communication skills. 3D rendering experience is considered an asset.

Why Join Us Be part of a collaborative, high-performing production team. Work with modern automation tools and colour management systems. Competitive compensation based on experience.
