They are getting better and better, and I bet AI will really make them harder to distinguish.

It must work for them. I just don't understand. Is there profit in this or is it just to be a RAGING ass to the rest of the world?

I've been quoting so many jobs, that I figured it was someone sending artwork.  :-\

We get those from time to time and it's really a pain that you have to stay on high alert all the time to keep from being scammed, while we sleep at night these jokers are up plotting how to steal from hard working people, makes me sick!!!! >:(

General Discussion and ??? / Very good email SCAM

Got an email this morning from a real business, complete with a very authentic signature line. They were trying to send me a pdf file and since I haven't done business
with them before I asked what it was in reference to? Got back a very believable response and proceeded to open the file in google drive. That's where I noticed it was asking permission
from another state and I stopped right there. I called the the person's cell that was on the email, she had no idea what I was talking about but did tell me her gmail account had been just disabled.
Told her I hope her day goes better and then immediately changed my password, just in time as I started getting alerts. I haven't seen one like this before.

Copyrights/Trade Marks info/questions / Re: Trademarks...

To be more specific.... I have a couple two word phrases I'd like to trademark for future business use.  They don't appear in the USPTO search base (known as TESS), so they appear to be available. I've used the phrases in existing art/sales, so I have a small degree of copyright protection... but if it's affordable, I'd like to maximize their protection as a company name by trademarking them and creating a LOGO that could be trademarked also. We've all heard of similar ambitions... in regards to apparel start-ups.

What I'm wondering is:
1) Is it reasonable to think I could file for trademark without use of a PTO lawyer....has anyone on the board done that by themselves ???
2) Does TESS (trademark electronic search system) do a through enough search to catch all existing trademarks on file... or do I need a specialist to search deeper.

My typical resources for info like this (Goggle/YouTube/USPTO) have conflicting answers about the ease of application.... at $275 an application/class, I'd like to avoid making multiple mistakes. (Maybe I'll do a search for a trademark chat site ??)
I think hiring a lawyer might be a good idea. Just because the phrases are still available does not mean they can be trademarked. A good lawyer specialised in this subject can probably tell you right away before you start spending too much of your time on it.

FYI depending on emulsion but my experience with wb/discharge regardless of exposure including LED/LTS in order to properly ensure great results use the sun!

Ha - I do remember doing this back at the old building a couple times, to post harden and I think one day a few screens or so when the exposure unit broke!

I should probably reconsider it for long runs / water based post hardening!

Social media has grown my B2C  line dramatically.  Last year I hired a  young woman full time to do TikTok and Instagram, and sales took off.  I am interested in Zoho, but know little about it. I am a beginner.  Our B2B is very small.  Are you talking about Building Storybrand 2.0 by Daniel Miller?
Zoho would be the tool to implement what ever version of marketing you like. It seems like the storybrand is the best option right now, so you could implement with Zoho.
Unfortunately, this m&a opportunity came on hard and fast and i will not have time to work on this for a while.

Thank you for the good tips.  I will look for a M&R Nuarc 3140.  Would the Saati prolite 450w replace my old Nuarc 6k MH lamp?  I use film, and I have a large vacuum  frame with blanket.
If you have a separate vacuum, satti unit would work great. Your exposure times will be much longer, but you get rid of the MH headache.
