Undertake special colour proofing

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to undertake special colour proofing. It requires the individual to evaluate artwork and produce colour proofs according to the job specifications.

It applies to individuals working in the printing and graphic arts industries who work under some supervision using practical skills and equipment to undertake special colour proofing.

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 Evaluate artwork and separations

1.1 Job is evaluated to identify required process

1.2 Job is evaluated to identify special colours

2 Produce special colour proofs

2.1 Colours are formulated according to job specifications

2.2 Film separations are exposed to appropriate medium

2.3 Colours are checked against job specifications using densitometers, spectrophotometers or visual matching to a supplied sample or Pantone Matching System (PMS) book

2.4 Colours are proofed in correct sequence according to job specifications

Evidence of the ability to:

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

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

transfer underlying skills of proofing across the design and pre-press sectors (it is important that the substrate for reproduction is identified and the quality of the image is suitable for the printing process).

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:

name systems used for matching colours

identify lighting conditions that should be used when matching colours

list effects of humidity on special colour proofing

outline factors to be considered when producing special colour for proofing

explain what determines correct colour sequence

explain how a densitometer is used for proof evaluation

explain how colour evaluation charts are used

list criteria for evaluating a colour proof

explain the manuals, safety and other documentation relevant to this task and briefly outline the relevant information.

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 Pre-Press field of work and include access to special purpose tools, equipment and industry software packages.

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.
