Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Produce step and repeat layout
  • Client information is gathered to enable step and repeat layout
  • A layout is produced according to client information
  • Data is stored for future retrieval using industry software package
  • A register of stock levels is maintained and advice about the depletion of stock is recorded according to enterprise procedures
       
Element: Set up step and repeat machine
  • The film is mounted squarely to produce an accurate image
  • Accurate masks are cut for image protection/bleeds
  • Mounting foils are positioned in a chase to ensure a quality output
  • The film or plate is punched, loaded, exposed and processed according to job specifications
       


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.

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Evidence of the ability to:

the film or plate is punched, loaded, exposed and processed according to job specifications

the underlying skills of step and repeat should be transferable across different pre-press systems and printing processes. It is important that the substrate for reproduction is identified and that the quality of the photographic image be suitable for the identified printing processes

demonstrate an ability to find and use information relevant to the task from a variety of information sources

prepare and set up at least TWO step and repeat layouts for production of multiple repeated images according to the listed Performance Criteria.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure:

assessment may take place on the job, off the job or a combination of both. Off the job assessment must be undertaken in a closely simulated workplace environment

it is expected that special purpose tools, equipment and industry software packages will be used where appropriate.

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:

direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate.

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended.

Submission Requirements

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.

Required skills

OHS in relation to operating machinery such as safely switching off machinery before cleaning is started

communication of ideas and information by obtaining client information

collecting, analysing and organising information by matching the job brief with production requirements

planning and organising activities by planning the sequence of operations to ensure efficient processing

teamwork when maintaining the production process in association with others

mathematical ideas and techniques by calculating exposures, chemical formulations and positioning of film

problem-solving skills by identifying plate faults and correcting

use of technology by using equipment is correctly to ensure ease of subsequent processing

Required knowledge

relationship between the image of the original and the final substrate

calculation required to produce the final layout

correct operation of the step and repeat machine

steps that are necessary to ensure safe operation

calculations using x and y coordinates that are needed to be completed to produce the layout rough

OHS concerns that are there when processing printing plates

prepare and use a mask to suit the job

procedures that are employed to ensure correct registration and accuracy/repeatability of exposure

manuals, safety and other documentation that are relevant to this task and where are they kept

information that is included in these documents

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Output may include:

dedicated step and repeat machine either manual or electronically driven.

Input may include:

a variety of images to be assembled in multiples repeated in a single layout.

Capture may include:

a variety of devices electronically or manually operated.

Manipulation/edit may include:

appropriate software and/or masking methods.

Quality standards may include:

should meet client requirements and enterprise and industry standards.

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.
