Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to undertake electronic processes and procedures used to make gravure cylinders.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Select the cylinder
- 1.1. The job specifications are interpreted to select an appropriate cylinder and/or core
- 1.2. The base cylinder is selected according to the job specifications
2. Pre-plan for engraving
- 2.1. Opels are analysed against the job specifications and the technical requirements of the equipment
- 2.2. Opels are masked manually for any uneven start positioning
3. Engrave cylinder electronically
- 3.1. A clean work environment is maintained to ensure quality of output
- 3.2. Equipment is maintained according to manufacturer's specifications
- 3.3. The cylinder is engraved according to job specifications and enterprise procedures
4. Adjust finished cylinder
- 4.1. Add and delete to finished cylinder
- 4.2. Required changes are pre-planned
- 4.3. Additions and deletions are made to cylinder according to job specifications and enterprise procedures
RANGE STATEMENT
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.
Output may include:
laser and programmable stylus machine.
Input may include:
a variety of line and tone originals, either as scan ready or digital data.
Capture may include:
proprietary or desktop system, or scanning technology.
Manipulation/edit may include:
use of specific or desktop software.
Quality standards may include:
should meet client requirements and enterprise and industry standards.

EVIDENCE GUIDE
The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.
Overview of assessment
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Evidence of the ability to:
the cylinder is correctly etched to ensure quality reproduction and meets print requirements
the underlying skills of cylinder making should be transferable across the pre-press sector. It is important that the substrate for reproduction is identified and that the quality of the cylinder be suitable for the identified printing processes
demonstrate an ability to find and use information relevant to the task from a variety of information sources
prepare, set up and use an electronic engraving system to produce BOTH stylus and laser gravure cylinders.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure:
assessment may take place on the job, off the job or a combination of both. Off the job assessment must be undertaken in a closely simulated workplace environment
it is expected that special purpose tools, equipment and industry software packages will be used where appropriate.
Method of assessment
A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:
direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate.
Guidance information for assessment
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended.
