Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to create layouts and impositions for printing. It requires an individual to manually develop a lay-down sheet and imposition scheme, combine components and meet production and finishing requirements.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.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Generate lay-down sheet and imposition scheme
  • Printing processes, sheet sizes and binding and finishing instructions are applied to finished artwork to generate an imposition scheme
  • A lay-down sheet and imposition scheme are generated according to folding and binding machine requirements and special printing requirements
       
Element: Impose pages and combine components to final machine-sized worksheets
  • Pages and combined components are imposed correctly to suit specified sheet size
  • Numerical sequence and lay-down of product or mock-up are correctly identified to meet binding and finishing 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 Generate lay-down sheet and imposition scheme

1.1 Printing processes, sheet sizes and binding and finishing instructions are applied to finished artwork to generate an imposition scheme

1.2 A lay-down sheet and imposition scheme are generated according to folding and binding machine requirements and special printing requirements

2 Impose pages and combine components to final machine-sized worksheets

2.1 Pages and combined components are imposed correctly to suit specified sheet size

2.2 Numerical sequence and lay-down of product or mock-up are correctly identified to meet binding and finishing requirements

Evidence of the ability to:

prepare, set up and use a manual or software system to produce TWO layouts according to listed performance criteria and job requirements

choose printing processes, sheet sizes, binding and finishing instructions, and numerical sequence and lay-down of the product meet job, and binding and finishing requirements

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 considerations of preparing a layout for a printing press

outline different working methods for sheet-fed presses

identify image control marks important for press operation, and at binding finishing stage

explain calculations to ensure layout size correct

describe impact of paper considerations on type of imposition used

outline factors that influence imposition choices

locate manuals, safety and other documentation relevant to this task and identify included information.

Submission Requirements

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assignment, checklist) and due date here

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)

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.

2.2 Numerical sequence and lay-down of product or mock-up are correctly identified to meet binding and finishing requirements

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.
