problem-solving strategies that could you use if a key piece of equipment in the production workflow was temporarily unavailable actions required if the substrate type you required was unavailable workarounds that could be used if you received a data file error when accessing a PDF file what to do if you had a busy production schedule with tight deadlines and a power failure occurred for an indefinite period of time factors that influence making a decision about using a particular printing solution (run length, substrate type, application) cost difference between a specified job printed on a digital system and a specified traditional system (eg digital vs lithographic) quality difference between a specified job printed on a digital system and a specified traditional system (eg digital vs lithographic) difference in turnaround time of a specified job printed on a digital system and a specified traditional system (eg digital vs lithographic) print method that would be the most appropriate option for the specified print job main differences between digital printing and traditional printing methods recommendations that could be made to a client who has created an electronic file in an incompatible software application suggestions that could be made to a client who required a high volume print run but needed a portion of the print job immediately steps that need to be followed for a client approval of a proof actions required if vital information was missing form the job ticket (manual or electronic) checks needing to be undertaken prior to set up (availability of material, maintenance) file does not transfer correctly what action should be taken to correct the problem main points to be checked before submitting file to print checks are made to ensure the data is in a format that can be used in digital print suggestions that could be made to a client who has an incompatible version of software ways to submit a PDF file to the digital printer OCR scanning scan resolution affecting document size and quality action required if a scanned image was too dark sort of scanner hardware and software configuration that could be used to digitally scan a hard copy multi-page document with text and images difference between colours displayed on a computer monitor and printed colour machine calibration affecting colour consistency using printed colour charts to perform colour matching to a proof what the acronym ICC stands for and what is the significance how a simulation profile affects colour output circumstances in which a job be modified before printing why margins should be changed when the job reaches the printer steps that need to be followed for client approval of the print what the proof is checked against type of proofing system that is available in the traditional pre-press recommendations that you could make regarding an appropriate proofing system for a specified print job document finishing and client delivery various types of binding procedures to be followed if the binding method required by the client was not available at your site why packaging finished print work is important
