Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to output complex images.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Set up and maintain the output device
  • 1.1. Devices are set up to manufacturer's specifications and enterprise standards
  • 1.2. Output medium is calibrated by conducting exposure tests using appropriate software and hardware
  • 1.3. Calibration is evaluated and necessary adjustments are made to output device
2. Adjust and manipulate images/files
  • 2.1. Electronic files are evaluated as to suitability for output
  • 2.2. Appropriate output resolution is set
  • 2.3. Appropriate screen angle and dot type are set according to job specifications
  • 2.4. Appropriate colour profiles are applied where necessary
  • 2.5. Availability of high resolution images is assessed for OPI process
  • 2.6. Appropriate fonts are available
  • 2.7. All support files are included with the job
3. Output the image
  • 3.1. The file is prepared for output to imaging device
  • 3.2. Job queuing is managed to ensure efficient production
  • 3.3. Images are outputted to the appropriate medium
  • 3.4. Output is processed according to job specifications
4. Evaluate the result
  • 4.1. Out put is checked for correct dot size, screen angles and film density
  • 4.2. Image elements are checked according to original job specifications
  • 4.3. Technical problems are solved and appropriate corrections are made
  • 4.4. Job is prepared for the next stage of production
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:
image setters.
Input may include:
files from a variety of software sources and platforms.
Complexity may include:
complex refers to intricate and detailed design (line and tones) and may include difficult vignettes, tone separations, colour reproductions.
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:
final image must meet job specifications and appropriate colour profiles are applied as required
demonstrate an ability to find and use information relevant to the task from a variety of information sources
output TWO complex images.

Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure:
assessment may take place on the job, off the job or a combination of these. Off the job assessment must be undertaken in a closely simulated workplace environment.

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.
