POSITION SUMMARY

We are seeking an experienced, highly skilled Bindery & Finishing Operator to set up, operate, and maintain our premium finishing line. In this role, you will be responsible for the end-to-end execution of high-end print finishing projects using three core pieces of equipment: a Kluge EHD Foil Stamper, a Perfecta Cutting System Premium Line 115 or Similar, and a Kolbus DA 270 Case Maker/Binder or similar.

The ideal candidate possesses exceptional mechanical aptitude, a mastery of registration and cutting precision, and a deep understanding of luxury book binding and embellishment.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES/ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS INCLUDE:

Makeready & Alignment: Independently set up the Kluge EHD platen press for foil stamping, embossing, debossing, and die-cutting based on strict job ticket specifications.
Die & Temperature Control: Mount, lock up, and align magnesium, copper, or brass dies. Correctly calculate and monitor dwell times, pressure settings, and multi-zone heating elements.
Stock & Feeding: Calibrate mechanical feeder arms and vacuum registration systems to handle luxury, heavy, or textured paper stocks without scuffing or marking.
Programming & Cutting: Program, adjust, and operate the Perfecta Premium Line 115 cutter, utilizing its digital interface for complex cut sequences and layouts.
Material Handling: Square, jog, and lift large paper lifts onto the cutting table, ensuring absolute precision to avoid shifting.
Maintenance: Monitor blade sharpness, safely change cutting knives, and adjust clamp pressure according to the fragility or density of the stock.
Setup & Changeovers: Perform precise mechanical setups and rapid changeovers on the Kolbus DA 270 for hard-cover book production, game boards, or luxury packaging components.
Glue & Material Management: Monitor and adjust hot-melt/cold glue viscosity, temperature, and application thickness. Ensure accurate feeding of cloth, paper cover materials, and heavy board.
Throughput Optimization: Safely operate the binder at peak speeds while continuously verifying that corners are tightly wrapped, boards are aligned, and the final cases meet geometric specifications.
Continuous Inspection: Perform rigorous quality checks throughout production runs to catch micro-defects, foil picking, cutting drift, or case warping.
Preventative Maintenance: Clean, oil, grease, and troubleshoot routine mechanical issues across all three lines to ensure minimal downtime.
