Unit of Competency ICPPRN392 - Set up and produce specialised digital print
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to set up for and produce specialised, digitally printed products. This unit includes the use of non-standard substrates and raster image processor (RIP) settings.It applies to individuals who evaluate job specifications, set up raster image processor (RIP) settings and produce specialised print jobs. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

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 printing field of work and include access to:

special purpose tools, equipment and materials

full colour production digital presses or specialised wide format printers.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.

explain where to source information on complex raster image processor RIP usage

discuss types of substrates suitable for various digital processes

explain the theory behind several digital processes and how this impacts substrate usage

outline problem-solving methodologies, including empirical, ishikawa and brainstorming

name online forums and networks which might be useful points of reference for this role

list work health and safety (WHS) issues in relation to each digital process

show where documentation or other information can be found on specialised digital processes.
