PERFORMANCE CRITERIA
|
|
Elements describe the essential outcomes.
|
Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.
|
|
1. Prepare lay-down sheet and imposition scheme
|
1.1 Identify job specifications, work health and safety (WHS) requirements and special printing requirements
1.2 Apply printing processes, sheet sizes and binding and finishing instructions to finished artwork to generate an imposition scheme
1.3 Generate a lay-down sheet according to folding and binding machine requirements and special printing requirements
|
|
2. Finalise lay-down sheet and imposition scheme
|
2.1 Impose pages and combined components according to required sheet size and manufacturer specifications

Performance Evidence
The candidate must demonstrate the ability to complete the tasks outlined in the elements, performance criteria and foundation skills of the unit, including evidence of the ability to:
- prepare, set up and produce two layouts.
In the course of the above, the candidate must:
- identify the substrate for reproduction
- confirm imposition scheme meets required output quality.
Knowledge Evidence
The candidate must be able to demonstrate knowledge to complete the tasks outlined in the elements, performance criteria and foundation skills of this unit, including knowledge of:
- procedures in preparing a layout for a printing press
- different working methods for sheet-fed presses
- digital methods of preparing imposition
- factors that impact binding and issues that may arise
- image control marks important for press operation, and at binding finishing stage
- calculations used to determine layout size
- impact of paper considerations on type of imposition used
- factors that influence imposition choices
- manufacturer manuals and work health and safety (WHS) documentation, their location and purpose.
Assessment Conditions
Skills in this unit must be demonstrated in a workplace or simulated environment where the conditions are typical of those in a working environment in this industry. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the area of work.
This includes access to:
- a computer
- industry software packages.
Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
