Printer Technician

Printer Operator (Direct to Film)

Full-Time · Deer Park, NY · $25-$26/hour

Carlock's Sport Shack is a custom apparel and sporting goods shop in Deer Park, NY. We're hiring a full-time DTF (Direct to Film) printer operator to run our brand-new in-house DTF printing system.

This is a hands-on production role focused on operating the printer day in and day out — managing print queues, applying powder, curing prints, and keeping the machine running cleanly. Manufacturer training is provided during your first week on the equipment.

What you'll do

Operate the DTF printer: load film, manage print queues, monitor print quality

Apply DTF powder and cure prints to spec

Manage white ink and color cartridges, including daily stirring and replacement as needed

Perform daily printer maintenance: cleaning cycles, nozzle checks, capping station care

Use RIP software to set up print files, color profiles, and white underbase

Quality check finished transfers before they move to production

Keep the print room clean, organized, and production-ready

What we're looking for

Reliable — you show up every day and take ownership of the machine

Detail-oriented — you notice when something's off and fix it before it becomes a problem

Comfortable with computers and software — you'll work with RIP software and design files daily

Mechanically inclined — you're not afraid to troubleshoot a printer issue

Physical stamina — this is an active, standing job

DTF, screen printing, sublimation, or wide-format print experience is a strong plus but not required

What we offer

$25-$26 per hour, depending on experience

Manufacturer training on the DTF equipment in week 1

Room to grow as we expand our DTF production capacity

Hours

Full-time, 40 hours per week. Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
