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!

ICPPRN390 - Generate a proof for digital production

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Produce proof on printing device

  1. Printing device is calibrated according to manufacturer’s specifications
  2. Appropriate colour profiles are selected to ensure consistent colour output
  3. The same substrate or product is used to generate a proof for the final production run
  4. Proof is produced according to job specifications and workflow procedures
  5. Proof is used to make a mock-up to simulate the finishing of the final product according to job specifications

Assess proof against specifications

  1. Proof is checked against job specifications to confirm validity and identify and rectify any defects
  2. Proofing process is repeated if proof does not meet job specifications and enterprise standards

Evidence of the ability to:

safely calibrate a digital device to ensure consistent colour output

produce a proof that gains client approval and matches the final production run

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 work health and safety (WHS) issues related to digital proofing for digital production

explain colour theory, including additive and subtractive colours, red, green, blue (RGB) and cyan, magenta, yellow, black (CMYK)

outline varying colour gamuts between colour modes

discuss colour management workflow set-up procedures

describe use of output profiles in relation to simulation

explain how regular calibration helps ensure consistent colour output

describe quality control systems used in proofing

outline techniques used to control quality

explain how to use standard viewing conditions to assess colour output

describe how to use colour evaluation charts

outline criteria for evaluating a colour proof

explain differences between preliminary proofs and a contract proof

identify types of substrates used in proofing

name the inks, toners and coatings used in digital printing

describe how to handle and store materials to ensure quality

identify types of finishing techniques used in digital production

point out the location of relevant manuals, safety and other documentation relevant to digital printing, and discuss the information in these documents

discuss where other available sources of information are.
