job requirements production problems that could eventuate by not reading and understanding the job specifications with whom would you discuss any production problems relief plates why hardness of the printing plate is important faults that may be detected on new plates type of solvents that should be used on photopolymer plates V-block mounting purpose of binding plates after mounting checks that need to be performed prior to cylinder installation machine frames and unit slides to be kept cleaned OHS precaution must be observed when installing printing cylinders in the machine optimum print sequence visual aid on the plate that identifies the colour of ink to be used precautions to be taken to ensure that the plate/cylinders were not damaged during installation reel transportation system on a web-fed machine OHS precaution that must be observed when webbing up the machine? determining the position of the reel implications if the brake tension is not set correctly function of the "Dancer" roller on a web machine function of nip rollers web is not spiced correctly sheet transportation system on a sheet-fed machine major OHS concerns when setting up the sheet transportation system what causes more than one sheet to pick up in the feeder accurate feeder set up is essential determining the position of the sheet prior to being transferred to the printing unit? determining which front lays to use types of substrate that require additional front lays to be engaged why additional front lays would be necessary when printing this type of substrate reel delivery system on a web-fed machine OHS precautions that must be observed when setting up the delivery web controlled in the rewind unit function of a slitter on a web machine problems that could be attributed to a blunt knife when sheeting remedial steps that can be taken if there is a possibility of the ink marking in the rewind sheet delivery system on a sheet-fed machine OHS precautions that must be observed when removing sheets from the delivery what causes sheets to be delivered incorrectly what adjustments are necessary if changing from lightweight to heavyweight stocks? determining the sheet release into the delivery problems resulting from the excessive use of anti set off spray powder what causes printed sheets to set off in the delivery how the possibility of set off in the delivery can be reduced how air blast assists sheet delivery inks and additives OHS concerns related to the preparation of inks and additives details are necessary to check inks suitability for the printing process special end-use requirements that may be necessary why it might be necessary to mix an additive into the ink how a spectrophotometer can be used to assess the colour of ink the formula for calculating the correct quantity of ink in relief printing print faults that will occur if excessive driers are mixed into the ink precautions that are observed to minimise waste when preparing the ink shelf life of most ink conditions that are relevant to the storage of inks and additives conventions should be adhered to when labelling mixed inks machine set up what are the Major OHS concerns when setting up the machine packing required in the tympan determining the amount of printing pressure what is the ideal condition of the tympan how the correct top sheet tension is achieved when fitting a new tympan print faults can occur if the tympan is not tensioned correctly order in which eccentric or concentric roller adjustments be made when setting the rollers, the width of the contact stripe between two rollers determining the ink duct setting ideal ink duct sweep setting recommended degrees shore hardness for forme rollers main reason for blistering on a heat set machine types of ink drying/curing systems how the drying unit cures the ink in-line processes OHS precautions that must be observed when slitting on the machine operations that can be performed with in-line units what machine position should you engage in-line processing units precautions that are necessary when setting up in-line processing units reasons for a printed product to be top cut benefits of embossing in-line result of excessive pressure when top cutting result of excessive pressure when cutting and creasing effect differing tooth counts have on perforated products problem solving proofing and adjustment operation of the true inch function fitted to some machines problems that may cause the machine to keep stopping checks that are necessary prior to engaging the impression checks to be performed when running the machine effect the position of certain guards have on the operation of the machine steps involved in operating the machine communicated to other team members aids that are available for the testing of the machine proof tests that are necessary for this job where the testing should take place function of a polarisation filter in a densitometer ideal conditions for inspecting the proof why it is necessary to use visual aids on the printed substrate causes of a halo effect on the image methods that are available to check and adjust ink colour and consistency adjustments that may have caused mis-register adjustments that are made to position the image laterally adjustments that are made to position the image circumferentially how changing the colour sequence can effect the final colour cast procedure to lengthen the print length on this type of press procedure to shorten the print length on this type of press difference between mechanical and optical dot gain causes of excessive mechanical dot gain who has the final say in the "OK" of the job?Information sources machine manuals, safety and other documentation that are relevant to this task and where are they kept information that is included in these documents other sources of information that are available
