Assessment requirements

Modification History

Release 

Comments 

Release 1

This version first released with ICP Printing and Graphic Arts Training Package Version 1.0.

Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to:

  • correctly scan, electronically combine and output to designated devices, TWO separate images on film and/or stencil according to job specification and client standards
  • 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:

  • identify tolerance allowed when scaling original
  • identify common scanner Dots Per Inch (DPI) for graphic line images
  • explain when original angling is used
  • state resolution for optical character recognition in scanning
  • identify format in which the scan is saved
  • name formatting retained in Optical Character Recognition (OCR) scanning
  • explain how external files are accessed
  • identify most appropriate software for this combining task
  • identify who is responsible for page layout size
  • outline type of elements that can be used
  • explain when trapping is applied
  • explain what determines the number of step and repeats in a job
  • name the first step in configuring the output menu
  • list types of output devices used in screen printing
  • name range of substrates used in output devices
  • explain where the file is located prior to the output device
  • identify and use checking techniques that maintain quality standards.

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.
