Prepare for personalised digital printing

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to set up a digital printing press for personalised data printing.

This unit applies to individuals who possess a sound theoretical knowledge base and who typically provide leadership in the production of personalised digital print runs that involve setting data files and ensuring correct sequence.

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 job specifications

1.1 Job details are checked and confirmed against job specifications

1.2 Correct materials are checked and are available for the job

1.3 Printing equipment is checked for efficiency and safely

1.4 Post-printing requirements are accurately identified according to job specifications

1.5 Correct data files are accessed and data conforms to job specifications

2. Set data requirements

2.1 Data files are set up to ensure required dynamic links operate correctly and settings conform to job specifications

2.2 Data is in correct sequence required for the run

2.3 Data is checked to ensure it is uncorrupted

3. Set machine quality

3.1 Work area is safe and ready for production

3.2 Digital printing machine is set to run efficiently and safely

3.3 Image is complete, sharp, of the required strength, free from contamination and in register

3.4 Output can be achieved at required quality standard and at required speed

3.5 Sample from the machine is produced and checked for conformance to job specifications

3.6 Adjustments are made where specifications are not met

3.7 If adjustments involve changes to materials, costs or time, supervisor or client are informed and approval secured

3.8 Set up is complete before deadline for the start of production

Evidence of the ability to:

manage and adjust digital data to conform to print requirements prior to digital printing and produce personalised digital print runs that involve setting data files and ensuring correct sequence.

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:

discuss how job requirements are established

identify various information sources

discuss appropriate set up required to run the printing machines safely and efficiently

describe result prediction

explain data interpretation

outline data retrieval.

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

digital printer.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.

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.
