Background

About Steve Pingleton

With over 35 years of hands-on experience in the printing industry, I specialize in bringing precision, innovation, and efficiency to every stage of the prepress production process. From offset and digital workflows to large-format signage and packaging, I’ve led teams and built systems that deliver high-volume results without sacrificing quality. As a Prepress Manager and department head, I’ve developed cutting-edge workflows for variable data printing, automated complex scripting pipelines, and optimized color management across diverse substrates. My career has included producing museum-grade signage, developing seamless “internet to press” workflows, and pioneering variable data print solutions for Indigo and Komori IS29 presses. I thrive in environments where technology, design, and production intersect—and I’ve spent decades educating teams, introducing smarter procedures, and adapting infrastructure to meet tight budgets and faster turnarounds. I’m not just fluent in Adobe Creative Suite, PitStop, and Fuji XMF —I know how to use them strategically to solve production pain points, scale output, and exceed client expectations. Let’s connect if you’re seeking someone who merges creative expertise with prepress precision—and knows how to build systems that simply get the job done.
