Printing workers - the kind used by crossword compilers! (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

typesetters

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'printing workers' is the definition.
'typesetters' can be an answer for 'workers' (typesetter is a kind of worker). I'm unsure of the 'printing' bit.

'kind used by crossword compilers' is the wordplay.
'kind' becomes 'type' (type is a kind of kind).
'used by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'crossword compilers' becomes 'setters' (people who set crosswords).
'type'+'setters'='TYPESETTERS'

'the' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for typesetters that I've seen is " Bookmakers possibly".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
