Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

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!

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Evidence of the ability to:

identify the various digital printing processes

select the most appropriate digital printing process for a particular job

find and use information relevant to the task from a variety of information sources.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure:

that conditions are typical ambient conditions found in the workplace

access to relevant facilities, equipment and materials used for colour management production

use of culturally appropriate processes and techniques appropriate to the language and literacy capacity of learners and the work being performed.

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:

direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence

third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate

practical demonstration by the candidate when applying digital processes to produce a product to specifications.

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other digital production units relevant to the workplace and job role is recommended, such as:

ICPPR384A Set up and produce basic digital print.

For valid and reliable assessment of this unit, evidence should be gathered over a period of time through a range of methods for assessment to indicate consistent performance.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

occupational health and safety (OHS) skills for operating machinery, such as safely switching off machinery before cleaning is started

communication skills for expressing ideas and information, having considered all the fundamentals of each digital process

collecting, analysing and organising skills in relation to the fundamentals of digital processes

planning and organising skills for identifying and clarifying job requirements and selecting a digital process

teamwork when maintaining the production process in association with others

problem-solving skills by diagnosing and correcting printing problems

use of technology by using raster image processors (RIPs) or front-end processors to output a job

Required knowledge

various digital printing processes used within the digital sector

advantages and disadvantages of each process

types of substrates that best suit a particular process

cost differences between each process

advantages and disadvantages digital processes have compared to traditional printing methods

different applications digital products may be used for

effect heat can have on certain processes

effect light can have of certain processes

how folding may affect the appearance of a digitally printed job

what layout design considerations need to be considered when using a particular process

which colours and combinations are not effective for certain processes

OHS issues in relation to each digital process

location of documentation or other information regarding digital processes

Range Statement

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Digital processes may include:

commonly used digital processes, such as:

tone

inkjet

liquid toner-based.

Printing problems may include:

ghosting

poor conversion of Pantone colours

banding or blending problems

quality of solid blacks

text too small

trapping and knockout problems.

may include:

folded products

outdoor banners

letterheads requiring overprinting and/or laminating.
