Company Overview

 Type of Business:

PhotoMachining, Inc.
is the world leader in the innovative technology that makes precision machining of otherwise unmachinable parts and materials a routine job. We proudly bring together the most skillful, experienced and talented people in the industry to design, build and operate our laser systems. We are constantly striving to better serve our customers. 

The tiny bright spark flashing below our logo is the most versatile, flexible, precise and powerful tool at work. This glowing plume is produced by an invisible laser beam drilling printed circuit boards at PhotoMachining's facility. PhotoMachining is the leader in supplying contract laser microvia drilling services to the microelectronics industry. Speeds of up to several hundred vias per second can be achieved using high speed laser drilling techniques coupled with fast, smart software to control the process and a unique diversity of laser sources to tackle almost any material.

Technical Stop

Some of our readers have expressed an interest in the differences of format usages for images, so in keeping with our commitment to repond to your requests here you are.....

FILE FORMAT USAGE

JPEG or JPG (Joint Photographic Experts Group):

This format is the most universal (cross-platform) and compressed, which enables easy transport over the Internet. It can be used for high resolution or low resolution files, for Mac and PC, for print and for Web, and in CMYK*, RGB* or other color formats. It is the best format for sending large files over the Internet.

TIF or TIFF (Tagged Image File Format):

The TIF file can be saved for Mac or PC and is a good cross-platform format. When saved as a TIF, graphics can be used in Microsoft Word without experiencing laser printing problems.

Note: Even though EPS files hold more information than a TIF, the file resolutions are equally as good when printing on press or laser printers.

EPS (Encapsulated PostScript):

An EPS file format is used primarily for Macintosh computers.

These files can be vector-based (created in Adobe Illustrator) or pixel-based (created in Adobe Photoshop).

Note: Even though EPS files hold more information than TIF files, the print resolutions are equally as good when printing on press or to a laser printer.

GIF (Graphical Interchange Format):

This is a very low resolution format and is only used for monitors or Web related viewing. This format is not used for press or laser printing purposes.

PNG (Portable Network Graphic):

PNG file format is used only for Web-site creation. It is similar to a GIF file but has 10% to 30% more compression, which creates a smaller file size.

PDF (Portable Document Format):

A file format that is used for transporting and viewing files across the Internet.

BMP (Bitmap):

BMP format is used mostly on PC and is a low resolution format. This is an RGB* file format and is not used for press or laser printing. It is used most often for presentations.

*CMYK stands for cyan, magenta, yellow and black. These are the colors that are the 4-color process used in press and laser printing.
RGB stands for red, green and blue which is the color spectrum on a computer monitor and is used for viewing purposes when creating a presentation or Web site.
All of the above file formats can be black and white line art, grayscale or color photos and graphics.
