Application
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to set up for and produce specialised, digitally printed products. This unit includes the use of non-standard substrates and raster image processor (RIP) settings.
It applies to individuals who evaluate job specifications, set up raster image processor (RIP) settings and produce specialised print jobs.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Elements and Performance Criteria
ELEMENT |
PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. |
Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Confirm specialised job specifications |
1.1 Job requirements are read and interpreted from job documentation or production control system 1.2 Availability of all job related components is checked and recorded |
2. Plan and carry out specialised set-up |
2.1 Specialised job specifications are identified and analysed 2.2 Specialised set-up requirements are determined 2.3 Specialised set-up is completed in minimum time and with minimum wastage |
3. Set up RIP for specialised digital printing |
3.1 RIP functions are analysed to determine appropriate settings according to specialised job requirements 3.2 Experimentation is undertaken with RIP functions to determine settings according to specialised job requirements 3.3 Problems are solved effectively to minimise waste and excess costs 3.4 Documentation and other forms of information are accessed to determine source of any problems 3.5 Most productive way to complete the job is determined |
4. Test and select substrate |
4.1 Substrate specifications are investigated to determine print feasibility 4.2 Test print run is conducted to confirm substrates appropriateness with job requirements 4.3 Appropriate substrate is selected based on print feasibility and job requirements |
5. Conduct specialised proof run |
5.1 Material to be used for specialised proof is organised correctly 5.2 Machine is operated according to manufacturer's specifications and enterprise procedures to produce a specialised proof 5.3 Specialised proof is visually inspected to enterprise procedures 5.4 Client approval or authority is sought prior to production run where appropriate 5.5 Results are interpreted and adjustments are carried out according to product and machine specifications |
6. Refine and document specialised print process |
6.1 Corrective or preventive action is recommended and implemented where appropriate 6.2 Changes are communicated to relevant personnel in a logical and easily understood manner 6.3 Changes are monitored to confirm improvement to production efficiency 6.4 Ongoing problems are reported according to enterprise procedures, and process is documented according to enterprise standards 6.5 Documentation is filed so it can be easily retrieved and used as a reference for future, similar jobs |
