Modification History

Release 1. Supersedes and is equivalent to LMTTD4005A Produce screen printed textiles

Application

This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to apply screen printing techniques to produce screen print designs on textiles.

The unit of competency applies to the use of stencil, or silk-screen printing techniques to produce designs and artworks for textiles to be used for garments, textile products, furnishing fabrics or accessories or public art commissions. Screen printing involves the use of manual techniques, tools and equipment.

Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team activities.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
