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!

ICPPRN492 - Use on-press print control devices

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

Set up print control devices

  1. CIP3/CIP4 data is accessed for the next print run
  2. Data is pre-set and options/parameters selected according to the next job specifications
  3. Data is released to press according to manufacturer’s recommended procedure
  4. Accurate position and fit are attained
  5. Approximate colour, density and ink/water balance, if applicable, are attained
  6. Make ready sheets are scanned or corrections are inputted until print matches the proof or client’s requirements
  7. Client or supervisor’s approval is obtained prior to running the job

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:

describe 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 strip determinates

outline how to determine accuracy of elements in a colour strip

explain how to ensure consistent print quality output

explain how to recognise colour contamination

describe how to set alarm limits for colour contamination

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.
