The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?
Identify colour requirements
|
|
Printing conditions are determined to identify colour management requirements Completed |
Evidence:
|
Printer's requirements are established to guide the provision and use of ICC colour profiles Completed |
Evidence:
|
Fingerprint press if printing in a controlled environment
|
|
Suitable test charts are selected Completed |
Evidence:
|
Test chart is printed with standard ink densities on a range of stock including non-standard types such as yellow parchment Completed |
Evidence:
|
Densitometer and/or spectrophotometer is used to examine printed test charts and generate colour profile for that press and that stock Completed |
Evidence:
|
Calibrate digital proofing device
|
|
Proofer is linearised for required stock Completed |
Evidence:
|
Digital test file (eg IT8 chart) is obtained Completed |
Evidence:
|
Test file is printed on a proofing device and on the type of press that will be used in order to obtain a proof for both film and direct to plate technologies Completed |
Evidence:
|
Results are measured with a spectrophotometer Completed |
Evidence:
|
Results are used to generate output profile that allows for dot gain, GCR, UCR, total gradients and black values Completed |
Evidence:
|
Create different monitor profiles using colour tuning package
|
|
A densitometer with screen suction device, if available, and/or appropriate software (OR) are used Completed |
Evidence:
|
Contrast (white level) and brightness are set Completed |
Evidence:
|
RGB and CMYK ICC profiles are applied Completed |
Evidence:
|
Jobs on screen are viewed through appropriate profiles Completed |
Evidence:
|
Calibrate scanner
|
|
Test chart (eg IT8) is loaded Completed |
Evidence:
|
Scanner input profiling software is used to calibrate scanner (OR) Completed |
Evidence:
|
All settings are put to zero (0) Completed |
Evidence:
|
Test chart is scanned and digital proof is outputted Completed |
Evidence:
|
Spectrophotometer is used to measure proof and ICC profile as generated ICC profile is loaded into scanning software Completed |
Evidence:
|
Calibrate digital camera
|
|
Standard lighting conditions are set up Completed |
Evidence:
|
ICC target is photographed and digital proof is outputted Completed |
Evidence:
|
Spectrophotometer is used to measure proof and ICC profile as generated Completed |
Evidence:
|
ICC profile is loaded into digital camera software Completed |
Evidence:
|
Carry out maintenance
|
|
Whole system is checked every two to three months Completed |
Evidence:
|
Monitor calibrations are checked monthly Completed |
Evidence:
|
Digital proofing devices are checked at least every time ink or paper stock is changed Completed |
Evidence:
|
Use colour profiles
|
|
Appropriate profiles are used to ensure that colour on monitors, proofs and final product match as closely as possible Completed |
Evidence:
|
In a controlled environment press fingerprint for final output is used, otherwise digital proofer profile is used Completed |
Evidence:
|
Colour wedges are included in all files and outputs Completed |
