Qualification -
Unit of Competency ICPPRP435 - Generate complex imposition
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to undertake complex electronic imposition.It applies to individuals who work in the graphic pre-press sector of the printing and graphic arts industry. The individual takes responsibility for meeting job specifications with a minimum delay in workflow.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: Impose images electronically
  • Industry designated software is applied to imposition of images according to job specifications
  • Imposition options are reviewed to ensure best fit for final substrate size
  • Trapping variables are taken into account
  • Particularities of press are considered
       
Element: Solve technical problems of imposition
  • Technical problems relevant to imposition are considered in imposition scheme
  • A lay-down sheet is prepared according to cutting and creasing and folding requirements
  • Binding and finishing requirements are considered 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 Impose images electronically

1.1 Industry designated software is applied to imposition of images according to job specifications

1.2 Imposition options are reviewed to ensure best fit for final substrate size

1.3 Trapping variables are taken into account

1.4 Particularities of press are considered

2 Solve technical problems of imposition

2.1 Technical problems relevant to imposition are considered in imposition scheme

2.2 A lay-down sheet is prepared according to cutting and creasing and folding requirements

2.3 Binding and finishing requirements are considered according to job specifications

Evidence of the ability to:

produce TWO complex impositions that best meet job specifications including identification of printing process, substrate surface and size

transfer the underlying skill of solving complex technical problems of imposition across the design and pre-press sectors to conform to brief specifications

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:

identify using examples of how subsequent printing processes or electronic output affect imposition

Purpose of imposition marks principles of imposition

describe the difference between saddle stitch and perfect binding

explain the purpose of head margins

explain the difference between sheetwise and work and turn

Preparation of data

explain trapping requirements that apply to specific jobs

list considerations when saving a PostScript file

name requirements of an imposition set up document

Use of imposition program

describe installation of fold and cut marks

explain how creep settings are nominated

explain creep and bottling

Output techniques

explain the need for a server signature to be available to the output station

identify the technique used to verify pictures and fonts are available

explain the purpose of a mock-up

Information sources

identify manuals, safety and other documentation relevant to this task, their location and the information included in them

identify other sources of available information.

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.
