This group includes anyone who creates, manipulates, or designs output to be printed. • Inkjet output specialists, which include those in charge of selecting paper, qualifying paper, and verifying output quality. • Press operators, who oversee all print operations, such as selecting the print mode, positioning printheads, setting the print speed, and controlling the dryer temperature.
