ICPPRP370
Produce multiple image plates

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to make plates for any printing process with repeated images from film inputs. It requires the individual to produce step and repeat layouts and set up step and repeat machines according to 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 produce multiple image plates.

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 Produce step and repeat layout

1.1 Client information is gathered to enable step and repeat layout

1.2 Layout is produced according to client information

1.3 Data is stored for future retrieval using industry software package

1.4 Register of stock levels is maintained, and advice about depletion of stock is recorded according to enterprise procedures

2 Set up step and repeat machine

2.1 Film is mounted squarely to produce an accurate image

2.2 Accurate masks are cut for image protection/bleeds

2.3 Mounting foils are positioned in a chase to ensure a quality output

2.4 Film or plate is punched, loaded, exposed and processed according to job specifications

Evidence of the ability to:

prepare and set up of at least TWO step and repeat layouts for production of multiple repeated images according to listed performance criteria and job specifications

transfer underlying skills of step and repeat across different pre-press systems and printing processes

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:

explain relationship between image of the original and the final substrate

describe calculation required to produce final layout

explain necessary steps to ensure correct and safe operation of the step and repeat machine

outline work health and safety (WHS) concerns when processing printing plates

explain how to prepare and use a mask to suit the job

outline procedures to ensure correct registration and accuracy/repeatability of exposure

identify manuals, safety and other documentation relevant to this task, where they are kept, and information included in them.

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.
