Performance Evidence
prepare, set up and use an electronic engraving system to produce BOTH stylus and laser gravure cylinders, according to job specifications, and ensuring the cylinder is correctly etched to ensure quality reproduction, and meets print requirementsfind and use information relevant to the task from a variety of information sourcestransfer underlying skills of cylinder making across the pre-press sector (it is important the substrate for reproduction is identified and the quality of the cylinder is suitable for the identified printing processes).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:
