The Imaging Specialist plays a key role in our digital imaging workflow by preparing and organizing the assets that move from concept to print. This role is hands-on and detail-driven, focused on executing consistent file prep, prepress tasks, and digital asset setup that meet Four Hands’ technical standards. Working closely with the Imaging Lead, the Imaging Specialist ensures that every file is accurate, print-ready, and aligned to our production requirements. The work is structured, precise, and essential to keeping our imaging pipeline running smoothly and delivering high-quality assets across the business.

Execute production color correction and tonal adjustment against approved references and documented standards
Perform cleanup and defect removal on predictable conditions — dust, artifacts, edge and corner correction — without altering the character of the original
Build production and derivative files including sizing and scale variations, templating, bleed, resolution handling, color profile assignment, and correct file structure for print
Verify files against printer and RIP specific technical requirements prior to submitting for review
