List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1 Generate lay-down sheet and imposition scheme | 1.1 Printing processes, sheet sizes and binding and finishing instructions are applied to finished artwork to generate an imposition scheme 1.2 A lay-down sheet and imposition scheme are generated according to folding and binding machine requirements and special printing requirements |
2 Impose pages and combine components to final machine-sized worksheets | 2.1 Pages and combined components are imposed correctly to suit specified sheet size 2.2 Numerical sequence and lay-down of product or mock-up are correctly identified to meet binding and finishing requirements |
Evidence of the ability to:
prepare, set up and use a manual or software system to produce TWO layouts according to listed performance criteria and job requirements
choose printing processes, sheet sizes, binding and finishing instructions, and numerical sequence and lay-down of the product meet job, and binding and finishing requirements
find and use information relevant to the task from a variety of information sources.
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:
list main considerations of preparing a layout for a printing press
outline different working methods for sheet-fed presses
identify image control marks important for press operation, and at binding finishing stage
explain calculations to ensure layout size correct
describe impact of paper considerations on type of imposition used
outline factors that influence imposition choices
locate manuals, safety and other documentation relevant to this task and identify included information.
Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the Pre-Press field of work and include access to special purpose tools, equipment and industry software packages.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
