Undertake special colour proofing

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit requires the individual to produce colour proofs according to the job specifications.

This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to undertake special colour proofing.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Employability Skills

This unit contains employability skills.




Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Evidence of the ability to:

colours accurately match the job specifications

the underlying skills of proofing should be transferable across the design and pre-press sectors. It is important that the substrate for reproduction is identified and that the quality of the image be suitable for the printing process

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

produce TWO sets of special colour proofs that match original artwork and meet client and industry requirements.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure:

assessment may take place on the job, off the job or a combination of both. Off the job assessment must be undertaken in a closely simulated workplace environment

it is expected that special purpose tools and equipment will be used where appropriate.

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:

direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate.

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended.

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Required skills

OHS in relation to operating machinery such as safely switching off machinery before cleaning is started

communication of ideas and information by interpreting the job brief

collecting, analysing and organising information by using information on colour and proofing to facilitate processing

planning and organising activities by planning the sequence of operations to facilitate efficient processing of the job

teamwork when maintaining the production process in association with others

mathematical ideas and techniques by using the densitometer

problem-solving skills by diagnosing colour matching and other proofing problems and correcting

use of technology by using equipment correctly to ensure accuracy of output

Required knowledge

systems that can be used for matching colours

lighting conditions that should be used when matching colours

effects that can humidity have on special colour proofing

factors need to be considered when producing special colour for proofing

correct colour sequence

densitometer for proof evaluation

colour evaluation charts?

criteria for evaluating a colour proof

manuals, safety and other documentation that are relevant to this task and where are they kept and information that is included in these documents

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Clients may include:

may include but are not limited to new or regular clients with routine or special needs.

Input may include:

film separations or digital workflow.

Manipulation/edit may include:

adjustment of density, exposure, registration.

Colour matching may include:

using densitometry or visual matching against colour or PMS book.

Quality standards may include:

should meet client requirements and enterprise and industry standards.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
