Performance Evidence
find and use information relevant to the task from a variety of information sourcesset 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 standardsproduce 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.
Knowledge Evidence
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
