LMTTD5011A
Produce printed designs on woven and non-woven substrates

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


The unit applies to the use of stencil, or silk-screen printing techniques to produce designs and artworks for woven and non -woven substrates and textiles to be used for garments, textile products or accessories. Screen printing involves the use of manual techniques, tools and equipment.

Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team-related activities.

The application of this unit is according to OHS practices of the enterprise and workplace practices, which may include:

requirements prescribed by legislation, awards agreements and conditions of employment

standard operating procedures

work instructions

oral, written and visual communication

quality practices, including responsibility for maintenance of own work quality and contribution to quality improvement of team or section output

housekeeping

tasks related to environmental protection, waste disposal, pollution control, and recycling

This unit requires the application of communications skills associated with interpreting patterns and specifications, and planning and organising skills for the safe and effective use of textile printing technology and operations. This unit also requires an ability to check the quality of outcomes and identify and address problems relating to printing or production. Initiative and enterprise and problem solving will be used to combine printing processes, technique and medium to achieve desired design outcomes.

This unit covers the skills and knowledge required to apply screen printing techniques used to produce designs on woven and non woven substrates.

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