2.       A position description is something that describes the type of work you’ll be doing and where your job stands in the business.

3.       Two issues that Workplace health and safety laws are the storage and handling of dangerous goods and training requirements for employees and contractors.

LA 02 Communication.

A, this image shows how people are more likely to view your visual language to what you’re saying.  

B, This image and text is a visual interpretation of the previous slide.

LA 03 Square communication.

This task is to see how the drawn square communicates to us.

The Square to me, looks fine, it looks like a cartoon style that should be added to, like it’s in a kids book and has a caption “draw this box into a crazy monster” or something. It doesn’t overly matter that the square hasn’t been finished because our brain processes the lines connected, even though technically it’s not a square, it’s just a line. To “improve’’ this line into a square one would have to straighten the lines and make all angles 90⁰.

The first Prepress assignment

Certificate lll Graphic Pre-press (ICP30212)

LEARNING ACTIVITY 01 Prepress research

PART A: Video Research

1.         The printing process from the program started with scheduling the project e.g. how long it will need to print and where it needs to go to, next it the availability and quality of paper needed to produce the end product. Then the artwork would be supplied and made up in the pages from 1 to whatever, and then they would be shown to the customer to be proofed making sure prices and other things ae in the correct position. Then the printing company goes into the process of making the plates for the printing press, using these plates the product is printed and then shipped away for distribution,

2.         The cheaper papers have a lot less shelf life so they are used for things like newspapers and such.

3.         The higher grade of paper is used for things like magazine, posters and high end photography books

4.         The printing plates for an offset lithographic printing press are made from a thin metal mostly aluminium.

5.         Spot colours are brighter colours that are often added to make vivid bright colours like gold or silver, these spot colours also cost extra though.

6.         Digital printing unlike offset lithography printing can print a different image each turn, making digital printing better for short runs, but is limited to 200gsm paper and its slower than the average offset lithographic press, however if making brochures or catalogues can be personalised for each customer.

7.         The main advantages of flexography printing are that this type of printing can print onto a range of plastics, cardboard’s and thick papers, and it also has variable pressure on the plates to change the way the ink acts.

8.         To dry inks the feed belt runs the paper through ovens at roughly 180°c then threw cooled rollers to dry any excess ink.

9.         Digital printing is different to traditional printing as digital printing doesn’t press the ink into the page; it sprays it on, in a fine coating making it more susceptible to cracking.

10.       A substrate is the object that is to be printed upon, e.g. the paper, plastic or cardboard.

11.       Coloured artwork is separated into four plates because of the colours used, like most printers the press uses CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow and key (or black)) these 4 colours make up every colour known, so the plate are each lines with this colour to create coloured prints.

12.       Book casing refers to what?

Book casing refers the outer covers of a book, generally made of a slightly heavier paper.

13.       Binding and finishing uses different equipment to finish the printed work.  Explain these terms:

a.  A knife folding machine is a machine folds paper by pushing the paper down the middle between two rollers.

b. Perfect binding machine, a perfect binding machine is a machine that carefully glues all the pages between to pages of a heavier paper, give the product a soft cover.

c. Guillotine, the guillotine is the machine used to trim all the pages.

 PART B: After the Program

Research and compare two printing processes outlined in the program to produce a magazine and comment on their suitability or otherwise.  Document your findings and answer these questions in sentence format.

For a magazine to be printed there are two major restrictions these being time and quantity e.g. how much time before they need to be distributed, and how many of these magazines need to be printed, for a large amount of the magazines to be printed in a shorted time one would have no other option than that of the offset lithographic press, but it the had more time and less quantity to do then the digital printed may be the better option, you could also look at the fact that a digital printer can print a different image each turn meaning they can print a magazine tailored to each customer’s needs.

PART C: After the Program

Create a puzzle word-search using these printing terms.

PART D: After the Program

Collect examples of six different printed materials and attach a description to each item that explains the main features of the printing process used. Set them out in easy steps or diagrams / pictures and clearly show how the processes relate to your examples.

This is a poster from one of my childhood books, roughly only 22,000 where made. This was printed onto a glossy paper, although only 22,000 prints where made I believe that these where printed using a flexography press.

This book “The ANZACS by Patsy Adam-Smith” was mass produced and has text on both sides of the pages; therefore it is safe to assume this was printed by an offset lithographic press.

The label from this Sunkist bottle was mass produced and shipped straight to the production line, many of these are made and are made from a thin flimsy plastic, meaning these where printed on in a flexographic press.

 

 

This is one of the local newspapers, many a printed a week and are made in hobart, in an offset lithographic press, this press I have actually seen myself a few years back and is quite impressive in side and speed.

 

These business cards where printed locally and where done via a digital printer.
