Yes, I create a document in PS that has four layers: one for the image, two for the signature/trademark, and one for the copyright notice. (Flatten before sending to ImagePrint). The copyright notice is printed in the bottom margin - 1/8" for 5x7, 1/4" for 8x10 & 11x14, 1/2" for larger sizes - that has the image title, the image id, photographer credit, and the copyright credit. But then again, my prints retail for $10, $20, $30, up to $100 for 24x30 - and I am definitely trying to mass produce them for the retail market. I think Intel back in the 8086 days proved the necessity to copyright every work after AMD was able to rip them off. Copyright line example: Choptank Oyster Dredgers Image ID 15-068 Photograph by A.
