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:

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

set up and align monitoring device to appropriate standards on THREE occasions – standards may be defined by enterprise/operator or default tolerances, client requirements, colour tolerances, and/or industry standards

produce profiles of samples taken during THREE different print runs that show print production is within agreed tolerances, if possible, using different variables.

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:

explain colour theory of:

additive colours (light), red, green, blue (RGB)

subtractive colours (pigments), cyan, magenta, yellow, black (CMYK)

discuss the relationship between ranges of visual colour RGB and CMYK

outline International Colour Consortium (ICC) profiling

describe underlying principles of densitometry and spectrophotometry

explain how to determine tolerance in densitometry and spectrophotometry

describe original colour control bar determinates

outline how to determine accuracy of elements in a colour bar

explain how to ensure consistent print quality output

explain how to recognise colour contamination

describe how to set alarm limits for colour contamination

describe the process for accessing data and determining that data is appropriate

explain the purpose of sampling to ensure consistency

describe processes to put in place if sample varies from standard

discuss ways quality can vary and how it can be fixed

outline computerised functions, common faults and electronic registration systems

describe information needed:

from pre-press to ensure quality product

to give to pre-press to ensure quality product

define these terms: registration, fit, position and alignment

explain the importance of registration marks.
