Default Wages?
Just wondering what kind of wages are being paid to operate and feed on a Heidelberg 2 color/4-color/8-color. I may want to relocate...

Thanks.

Call the local printing union in the areas you are interested in. That is probably the best way to get a feel for what pay is in that area. You can usually figure non-union will be around a dollar an hour less depending on the shop

In the San Fran (bay area) A 640 pressman makes 30.00 to 36.00 but I've heard of a few guys making as much as 42.00

Second pressman/feeders start around 15.00 and top out around 25.00.

In central IL it is about 18-20 for a good pressman. The union shops pay more but are closing up fast. There isn't a lot of competition to drive wages up but the cost of living is low so 20 is a lot of money.
