Assessment Requirements for ICPPRN495 Set up and use complex colour management for production

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:

create custom device profiles in a digital production workflow to enhance the match across proofs, monitors and final products

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

complete THREE custom device profiles that have been used within a colour workflow

produce a final product from the colour workflow.

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:

list work health and safety (WHS) issues to be considered when managing colour for digital production

discuss importance of bringing a device into a known state

explain how often to calibrate devices

outline what condition changes result in the need for re-calibration

describe colour measurement devices and usage

list various types of proprietary software used for colour measurement

discuss comparison of test charts, their advantages and disadvantages

describe the process of determining grey balance and white points

identify colour profiles and their use

describe the effect colour profiles have on output

explain the difference between input, output and display profiles

outline various colour management systems

describe components of a colour management system

outline components of a colour-managed workflow

discuss red, green blue (RGB) versus cyan, magenta, yellow, black (CMYK), spot colour versus mixed colour workflows

describe how to implement colour management on a system

identify workplace and international publication and printing standards

explain effects different substrates have on colour reproduction for proofing and final production

describe how dot gain effects colour

discuss under colour removal (UCR) and grey component replacement (GCR).

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:

printing presses

raster image processors (RIPs) with colour management features

profiling software

colour output devices

densitometers and spectrometers.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
