Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to prepare an output device for outputting images. Devices may include, but are not limited to, plate setters, image setters and commercial digital printers. It applies to individuals in the printing and graphic art industry. Typically these individuals design and prepare layouts and artwork, and manipulate images and texts to meet production requirements. They generally work under direct supervision.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 Pre-Press field of work and include access to special purpose tools, equipment and industry software packages.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.

  • All required proofs and checks are completed prior to outputting images
       
Element: Output image
  • System is activated to initiate output according to job specifications
  • Print queues are managed to ensure efficient production
  • Image output is evaluated to ensure it conforms to job specifications
  • Image is prepared for next stage of production process 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.

ELEMENT

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1 Prepare output device

1.1 Outputdevices are prepared according to manufacturer’s and job specifications

1.2 All required proofs and checks are completed prior to outputting images

2 Output image

2.1 System is activated to initiate output according to job specifications

2.2 Print queues are managed to ensure efficient production

2.3 Image output is evaluated to ensure it conforms to job specifications

2.4 Image is prepared for next stage of production process according to job specifications

Evidence of the ability to:

calibrate and use at least TWO devices to output electronic images to film, paper or plate, according to listed performance criteria

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

provide proofed, error-free final output to digital printer/plotter that conforms to the job specifications

identify substrate for reproduction

demonstrate a clear understanding of printing processes.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

describe types of output devices used in pre-press

outline considerations that determine application of these devices

explain function of calibration software

describe procedure for downloading a file to output device

outline main considerations to ensure accurate transfer of files

describe correct handling and material loading of the output device

explain how to identify a correctly processed image

list factors that control image quality through a processor

list criteria for identifying a correctly transferred file

detail requirement of image to meet job specifications

outline criteria to ensure final image meets job specifications

list criteria for evaluating a final film

list manuals, safety and other documentation relevant to this task and identify where they are kept and what information is included.

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.

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.
