Qualification	-	Unit of Competency	LMTTD4005A - Produce screen printed textiles
Description	This unit covers the skills and knowledge required to apply screen printing techniques used to produce screen print designs on textiles.
Employability Skills	This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application	The unit applies to the use of stencil, or silk-screen printing techniques to produce designs and artworks for textiles to be used for garments, textile products, furnishing fabrics or accessories or public art commissions. Screen printing involves the use of manual techniques, tools and equipment. Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team-related activities.The application of this unit is according to OHS practices of the enterprise and workplace practices, which may include:requirements prescribed by legislation, awards agreements and conditions of employmentstandard operating procedureswork instructionsoral, written and visual communicationquality practices, including responsibility for maintenance of own work quality and contribution to quality improvement of team or section outputhousekeepingtasks related to environmental protection, waste disposal, pollution control, and recyclingThis unit requires the application of communications skills associated with interpreting patterns and specifications, and planning and organising skills for the safe and effective use of textile printing technology and operations. This unit also requires an ability to check the quality of outcomes and identify and address problems relating to printing or production. Initiative and enterprise and problem solving will be used to combine printing processes, technique and medium to achieve desired design outcomes.
Duration and Setting	X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Elements of Competency	Performance Criteria
Element: Interpret production requirements	Design specifications are analysed and discussed with appropriate personnel to confirm production requirements Desired effects of screen printing are identified and appropriate printing technique selected to achieve required design outcome Textile substrates and quantities are selected according to design requirements Stencil techniques, stencil types, masters, screen types, meshes and medium are selected according to requirements of printing technique, substrate and design
Element: Apply screen printing procedure	Workstation, tools and equipment are set up according to specifications for work. Substrates are prepared and checked against quality standards Stencil masters, meshes and screens are prepared for printing according to requirements for selected printing technique Printing set up is prepared. Screen printing techniques are applied to meet design specifications for sample and according to OHS practices
Element: Produce Textile printed sample	Strike off is checked against design specifications to ensure quality standards are met Printing faults and production problems are identified and causes determined Printing process, technique and medium used are analysed to determine necessary modifications to printing techniques, processes or materials Sample is printed Screen print is finished and housekeeping completed Outcomes are examined with appropriate personnel and possible Required documentation is completed

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.

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, Required Skills and Knowledge, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.
Critical aspects of evidence to be considered	Demonstrates skills and knowledge to: analyse design specifications and interpret production requirements identify and address faults determine effects of printing on woven and non woven substrates make minor adjustments to equipment use printing techniques to achieve design effects recognise and apply stencil application for image use, design and printing techniques evaluate own work and conduct quality checks
Consistency in performance	Consistently applies skills and knowledge when: organising work completing tasks identifying improvements using workplace practices using OHS practices recording and reporting accidents and incidents assessing operational readiness of equipment used and work processes completing work systematically with attention to detail and without damage to goods and equipment
Resource implications	Access is required to real or appropriately simulated situations, including work areas, materials and equipment, and to information on workplace practices and OHS practices.
Context for assessment	Assessment may occur on the job or in an appropriately simulated environment.
Interdependent assessment	This unit may be assessed independently or in combination with other relevant units.

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.
