Greetings,

Don't worry. They hired you for a reason. (This is not my field, but we do have 6 big printers and I have a passing knowledge) They are mostly inkJet printers. Take apart a small consumer inkjet, and imagine everything on a bigger scale. Find out who the customers are you'll be sellng to. Are they ad agencies? Poster printers? Photoprinters? Fabric? Billboards? Sides of buses? Begin learning about what substrates (materials) your machines can print on and become familiar with the ideas and language of color management. Good luck!
