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!

Evidence of the ability to:

set up a machine for complex pad printing on TWO occasions (if possible, on different substrates) according to manufacturer’s and job specifications, enterprise procedures and the performance criteria.

set up pad printing machines for non-routine print jobs, including for manual pre- and post-treatment processes

conduct a proof run and adjust settings to ensure production speeds are attained

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 different substrate groups and suggest correct ink type for each group

identify plastic subgroups for purpose of ink selection

explain how adjustments are made to process colour inks for correct colour balance

describe methods of improving opacity of a light coloured ink on a dark substrate

determine correct pad shape for (given) applications

describe the effect pad shape and hardness have on print quality

describe the effect commonly seen at the contact point of the nipple of a pad in a large solid print, and how can it be avoided

explain how to prepare a new pad for its first printing

determine the correct plate type for (given) applications

outline the difference between steel and photopolymer plates for process printing

provide reasons for mis-registered images and how can they be corrected

identify work health and safety (WHS) concerns of setting presses and doctor blades

describe adjustments made to the machine so the doctor blade operates correctly

outline consequences of a damaged doctor blade

identify different types of doctor blades and explain their applications

identify WHS concerns of pre- and post-treating substrates

describe common pre- and post-treatment methods for different substrates and their importance

identify causes of, and solutions for, common print problems (e.g. hairlines around image, loss of density in the centre of a solid image, fine lines of ink running through image, distortion of image, picking up ink from substrate by subsequent pads, washed out images, loss of fine lines in images, inconsistent colour)

locate machine manuals, safety and other documentation relevant to this task and outline the information included in them.
