This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to safely select, inspect and cut substrate according to job specifications.

It applies to individuals working in the printing and graphic arts industry under direct supervision and performing mainly routine tasks such as matching materials with the job specifications and checking and monitoring output.

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)

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 Prepare substrate	1.1 Substrates selected are of suitable quality according to job specifications and end use of product 1.2 Print capability of substrates is inspected and assessed, including need for any special preparation requirements 1.3 Preventive action is taken to avoid wastage and to ensure best yield with respect to grain direction and type of substrate selected 1.4 Substrate is pre-treated appropriately, where required
2 Cut substrate	2.1 Set-up is carried out correctly in minimum time with minimum wastage 2.2 Grip and lay edges of sheet are identified 2.3 Knives are checked for appropriate sharpness 2.4 Cutting sticks are replaced when necessary 2.5 Guillotine is manually set up and adjusted according to job specifications 2.6 Clamping pressures are set up and adjusted according to job specifications 2.7 Problems in cutting (guillotining) machine operation are identified and reported according to enterprise procedures 2.8 Quality of cuts is checked to ensure quality standards are met

Evidence of the ability to:

inspect and cut substrates according to job specifications.

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 the typical information contained in job specifications

describe the process for checking guillotine knives

outline the process for guillotine set-up and operation

describe safe guillotine handling and operation practices

explain the proper stacking and storage of processed substrate.

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 screen printing field of work and include access to guillotining machines and substrates.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assingnment, checklist) and due date here

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

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.
