Will AI replace Printing Press Operators?

Why this score

Printing press operators face direct automation pressure on their most routine tasks: color registration, ink density monitoring, sheet feeding, and press speed adjustments are already being handled by sensor-driven systems on modern presses. Makeready processes that once required experienced hands are increasingly managed by automated pre-setting software that learns from prior job data. The physical press still needs a human presence, but the scope of what that human actually does is shrinking with each equipment upgrade. If your daily work centers on monitoring gauges and making incremental adjustments, you should be asking what your role looks like when the press monitors itself.
