What kind of printing media do you work on? Or is it too secret!  |
I'm an Engineer for Ultra Electronics. Our main purpose is air/defense, but we also develop security ID printers. We mainly develop military security hardware, missle control systems, sonar systems, command/control systems, anti submarine warfare equipment that detect submarines....all kinds of cool stuff.
Nothing secret... well the hardware / coding development part is.
YMC = CMYK (yellow, magenta, cyan and the k panel which is black resin)
We call them YMC printers, because not everyone uses the K panel. Some do and some don't depending on what you are printing. The media is CR80 PVC.
What can be a pain in the butt is the RGB to YMC conversions. The printers are YMC, but every software out there is usually RGB (corel/PS). Then you have RGB monitors....etc Trying to go though 1000's of pantone colors to get colors to match is PITA! lol
