Application
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to prepare an output device for outputting images. Devices may include, but are not limited to, plate setters, image setters and commercial digital printers.
It applies to individuals in the printing and graphic art industry.
Typically these individuals 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:
- calibrate and use at least TWO devices to output electronic images to film, paper or plate, according to listed performance criteria
- find and use information relevant to the task from a variety of information sources
- provide proofed, error-free final output to digital printer/plotter that conforms to the job specifications
- identify substrate for reproduction
- demonstrate a clear understanding of printing processes.
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 types of output devices used in pre-press
- outline considerations that determine application of these devices
- explain function of calibration software
- describe procedure for downloading a file to output device
- outline main considerations to ensure accurate transfer of files
- describe correct handling and material loading of the output device
- explain how to identify a correctly processed image
- list factors that control image quality through a processor
- list criteria for identifying a correctly transferred file
- detail requirement of image to meet job specifications
- outline criteria to ensure final image meets job specifications
- list criteria for evaluating a final film
- 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.
