Application
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to proof images, including chemical or digital, and prepare the proof for the next stage of production.
It applies to individuals in the printing and graphic art industry who design and prepare layouts and artwork, and manipulate images and texts to meet production requirements. They generally work under direct supervision.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Performance Evidence
Evidence of the ability to:
- prepare and set up proofing area to produce digital or chemical proofs of TWO four-colour separated images according to listed performance criteria. (Since underlying skills associated with digital or chemical proofing should be transferable across a range of systems, it is important to identify substrates along with the associated printing process that is being simulated.)
- position images accurately on proof according to job specifications so proof is ready for the next stage
- find and use information relevant to the task from a variety of information sources.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
Knowledge Evidence
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
- describe work health and safety (WHS) issues in proofing area
- outline main considerations for setting up the proofing environment
- explain how correct exposure levels for the proofing system are chosen
- identify actinic light requirements
- name aids used to control and ensure repeatability in proofing
- describe considerations when matching a proof to output requirements
- identify correct stock for output device
- explain how incorrect processing of chemical proof is identified
- outline corrective action to take if incorrect processing occurs
- list main criteria for proof evaluation
- describe lighting conditions required for evaluating proofs
- list special requirements for Pantone Matching System (PMS) proofs
- list manuals, safety and other documentation relevant to this task and identify where they are kept and what information is included.
Assessment Conditions
Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the Pre-Press field of work and include access to special purpose tools, equipment and industry software packages.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
