Application

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to produce and manage digital print in a complex print production environment by constructing and accessing complex electronic data, performing colour digital management and adjusting machine settings to ensure production and print quality are maintained.

It applies to individuals who possess a sound theoretical knowledge base, who typically provide leadership and use a range of specialised and technical skills in the commercial print, pre-press, bureau, high-end digital print or a combination of these business environments.

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

Foundation Skills

This section describes those language, literacy, numeracy and employment skills that are essential to performance but not explicit in the performance criteria.

Skill	Description
Writing	Enters routine data associated with production processes and enterprise procedures
Numeracy	Interprets and analyses a range of mathematical information used in familiar and routine tasks
Self-management	Works independently and collectively within broad parameters, with a strong sense of responsibility and ownership of goals, plans, decisions and outcomes May seek to make implicit protocols and expectations more explicit, and may challenge those who appear to work against effective outcomes, or do not reflect stated values, decisions and outcomes
Teamwork	Collaborates with others to achieve joint outcomes, playing an active role in facilitating effective group interaction, influencing direction and taking a leadership role on occasion
Planning and organising	Determines priorities and sequences steps involved in clearly defined, familiar tasks Takes responsibility for planning and organising own workload using analytical processes to decide on a course of action, and assembles required resources
Problem solving	Identifies and anticipates an increasing range of complex problems, their symptoms and causes, actively looking for early warning signs and implementing contingency plans
