pressmen
Printing machine operators
Pressmen is the plural of pressman—a worker who operates a printing press.
The term dates from when newspapers and books required skilled operators to run large mechanical presses: The pressmen worked through the night to get the morning edition out.
Pressman can also mean a journalist or reporter, though this sense is less common in American English.
