Unit of Competency ICPPRP266 - Produce relief plates
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to make and proof relief plates from film input for letterpress or label printing. It requires the individual to correctly prepare and evaluate film, and expose and process a relief plate suitable for letterpress and label printing.It applies to individuals in the printing and graphic art industry who design and prepare layouts, artwork, 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.

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 Produce plates

1.1 The plate processor is prepared and maintained according to manufacturer’s specifications and enterprise standards

1.2 Exposure control is established and maintained utilising vacuum frames and plate processors according to job specifications

1.3 Plates are produced that conform to job specifications

2 Proof relief plates

2.1 Relief plates are proofed according to job specifications

2.2 Relief plates are proofed according to enterprise and manufacturer’s specifications

Evidence of the ability to:

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 proofed

find 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.

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

list main factors to be considered when preparing to lay a plate

list aids that can be used to ensure accuracy and repeatability

name quality control or problem-solving devices that can be included

outline essential criteria for evaluating a film to be used in plate production

describe process when testing exposure for plate making

outline main considerations with a plate exposure system

explain how to ensure continuity and control with plate exposure

describe plate processing operation

outline key factors of poor processing operation

list main criteria for evaluating a correctly prepared plate

outline work health and safety (WHS) concerns when processing and proofing printing plates

explain main advantages of plate proofing

outline criteria for plate proof evaluation

explain different requirements for plates for litho printing, and relief printing

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

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.

ELEMENT

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

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

1 Produce plates

1.1 The plate processor is prepared and maintained according to manufacturer’s specifications and enterprise standards

1.2 Exposure control is established and maintained utilising vacuum frames and plate processors according to job specifications

1.3 Plates are produced that conform to job specifications

2 Proof relief plates

2.1 Relief plates are proofed according to job specifications

2.2 Relief plates are proofed according to enterprise and manufacturer’s specifications

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.
