Modification History

Release	Comments
Release 1	This version first released with ICP Printing and Graphic Arts Training Package Version 1.0.

Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to:

find and use information relevant to the task from a variety of information sources

set up and align monitoring device to appropriate standards on THREE occasions –standards may be defined by enterprise/operator or default tolerances, client requirements, colour tolerances and/or industry standards

produce profiles of samples taken during THREE different print runs that show print production is within agreed tolerances, if possible, using different variables.

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 International Colour Consortium (ICC) profiling

describe underlying principles of densitometry and spectrophotometry

explain how to determine tolerance in densitometry and spectrophotometry

describe original colour control strip determinates

outline how to determine accuracy of elements in a colour strip

explain how to ensure consistent print quality output

explain how to recognise colour contamination

describe how to set alarm limits for colour contamination

explain the purpose of sampling to ensure consistency

describe processes to put in place if sample varies from standard

discuss ways quality can vary and how it can be fixed

outline computerised functions, common faults and electronic registration systems

describe information needed:

from pre-press to ensure quality product

to give to pre-press to ensure quality product

define these terms: registration, fit, position and alignment

explain the importance of registration marks.

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 printing field of work and include access to a computerised printing machine.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
