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:

prepare film for TWO different products involving a variety of image effects according to job and manufacturer specifications

correctly select and use appropriate Raster Image Processor (RIP) software to meet the requirements of TWO jobs.

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 image specifications and the resolutions or dots per inch (DPI) determination

explain the scanner settings, including the adjusting of the image brightness or contrast

identify the software used for scanning and the creation of vector graphics

discuss the exclusion of colours and bleed for a particular job and the purpose of colouring separation layers

explain the common file format when using RIP software and the settings that must be checked prior to ripping

outline the nesting requirements of particular jobs and the output suitability prior to producing separations

outline the correct output device and the regular checks and maintenance that must be performed on an image setter or dye printer

outline the procedures used for evaluating the output film to ensure it conforms to job specifications.
