Issue Date: April 2024


This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to apply various digital printing processes and select an appropriate method for a particular job.

It applies to individuals who generally work under direct supervision and use various digital printing processes working in the digital, commercial print, pre-press, bureau, high-end print or a combination of these business environments.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

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


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.

ELEMENT

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1. Identify digital processes

1.1 Various digital processes used within the workplace are identified and documented

1.2 Advantages or disadvantages of one process over another for a particular job are identified and a suitable option recommended

2. Assess job requirements

2.1 Printing requirements of the job are determined

2.2 Layout design of the job is reviewed to determine possible printing problems of using a particular process

2.3 End application of the digital product is reviewed to ensure digital process will meet job specifications and enterprise standards

3. Apply digital process

3.1 Digital process is selected that ensures job specifications can be met

3.2 Digital process is completed in accordance job specifications and enterprise standards

3.3 Job is reviewed to ensure appropriate digital process was selected based on job specifications

Evidence of the ability to:

identify various digital printing processes used within the organisation

select the most appropriate digital printing process for a particular job

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

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

outline various digital printing processes used within the digital sector

explain advantages and disadvantages of each process

describe types of substrates that best suit a particular process

explain cost differences between each process

list advantages and disadvantages digital processes have compared to traditional printing methods

identify different applications digital products may be used for

describe the effect heat can have on certain processes

explain the effect light can have of certain processes

describe how folding may affect appearance of a digitally printed job

describe the layout design considerations when using a particular process

identify which colours and combinations are not effective for certain processes

identify work health and safety (WHS) issues in relation to each digital process

identify the location of documentation or other information regarding digital processes.

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 special purpose tools, equipment and materials used for colour management production.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
