Performance Evidence
produce TWO printing plates using plate-making facilities and according to job specifications and the listed performance criteria. (Since the underlying skills of plate production should be transferable across a range of systems, it is important that substrates be identified along with the associated printing process that is being simulated.) ensure plate(s) meets job specifications and is accurately proofedfind 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.
Knowledge Evidence
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
list main factors to be considered when preparing to lay a platelist aids that can be used to ensure accuracy and repeatabilityname quality control or problem-solving devices that can be includedoutline essential criteria for evaluating a film to be used in plate productiondescribe process when testing exposure for plate makingoutline main considerations with a plate exposure systemexplain how to ensure continuity and control with plate exposuredescribe plate processing operationoutline key factors of poor processing operationlist main criteria for evaluating a correctly prepared plateoutline work health and safety (WHS) concerns when processing and proofing printing platesexplain main advantages of plate proofingoutline criteria for plate proof evaluationexplain different requirements for plates for litho printing, and relief printinglist manuals, safety and other documentation relevant to this task and identify where they are kept and what information is included.
