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!

They are all bunched up in about two inches circle and there is a proper colimator around them.

Umm, how can it be a point light source if it has more than one light?

What LED unit would you recommend? We have an old MH 6K NuArc, but sometimes the bulbs are hard to find. Is the Starlight or Saati a good choice? We do our own line of 4c process and simulated process. W use a Wasatch RIP and an Epson Surecolor 4900 printer. The printer occasionally needs repairs.
We use the Saati pro lite 450w and are pretty happy with it. With films you might need the fully enclosed version, dont know anything about those as we run the light source only. We tested the Vastex unit and it had a good uniform field. M&R had really bad field consistency, but they did not care. All of this testing was done many years ago so it’s possible they fixed it. As far as i know, Saati is the only one that has it set up as single point light source, all the others will create some under cutting, which might or might not be a big deal depending in the work you do. Smaller MH units can be had pretty cheap and can be excellent value for the money. M&R Nuarc3140 is a great unit thats dropping in price. Yes, you need to replace the bulbs every now and then (i think we ran 2 years with about 50 screens per day), but the integrator works well so it’s easy to use. Pierre

I did mine through trademarkia.com
TESS is a good start but did not catch a potential problem that our lawyer did where we had to exclude "footwear." It only costs about $175 (there are different package prices, but this is the best value IMO and what we did) for them to do it as long as there are no additional hiccups. The $275 fee is non-refundable. If you are denied, you are just out of luck.
It will take close to 9 months or a year to get the trademark if everything goes well.
Everything Zoocity said seems about right. One class often covers quite a bit though. Here is our class: IC 025. US 022 039. G & S: Clothing, namely, tops, bottoms, sweatshirts, hats, Hooded sweatshirts; T-shirts, jackets, excluding footwear.
You should have a logo or proof of use ready before you file. It's a "specimen" you have to submit, don't try to fake this, you'll probably get called out.
I know this is 10 years old but has anyone else used Trademarkia before or have any insight on trademarking a phrase? Talk to me like I'm 3.....

Yeah last ten years have not as fun as the previous thirty. I am grateful though for having the opportunity to work and teach some of the the best. Some do not want to learn but that's how it goes.

Congratulations, Tony, you won't regret it. It's been just over a year for me, now I just take care of the wife, but have time for other things put off forever. I had much help from your posts over the years, and have always appreciated your sharing of your knowledge. I logged in today, just for a lark to see how everyone was doing. I don't get the feeling that everyone is having a good time, or as enthusiastic as they could be. I wish the best for all of. you.

I made a post at reddit screenprinting, and it was immediately removed by a moderator. Oh well, thanks anyway for the tip rusty.
I know it's probably too late, but digitsmith.com is the best place for used screen printing equipment that I know of.
