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!

explain how to determine suitability of ink for the particular process

describe characteristics of the chosen ink matched to the substrate

explain how to determine if ink adheres to the substrate

describe how to determine physical, chemical and light or colour fastness of ink

explain how correct handling procedures are determined

describe how to determine correct weight/volume required

outline methods to check and adjust ink colour and consistency

explain how to ensure quality of ink or additive is the required standard

describe the effect lighting conditions have on colour matching

outline how to determine compatibility of the ink being mixed
