Re: [Digital BW] "spotting" K3 PK prints

Print a partial image on velum ...The ink lays on top and stays wet. I don't think registration is realistically possible. ..I've used a wetted tiny artist brush to transfer.. Personally, I feel this is the long way around the bus in about 95% of the issues.. It is really helpful if you have a color that you can't match by other means.. You can also pic the area on the original to get that as a foreground color etc.. If your colors change where the issue is .. do that a few times to get a few color variants..Put each on the velum and print it. Then you have a pallet of color.. but you need to work fast.. 
Other options are as suggest the pens using actual inks..This too works well but personally I find cumbersome as it's to hard to mix actual inks to obtain a proper color..
Other options I use are: Sharpie Fine point permanent markers.. They make a set of maybe 30 colors.. for small ink pops this works great.. just dot the area until you have what you want don't try to color it.. Another way that I use on edges of gallery wraps especially is mixing acrylic artists paints.. you'd be surprised how well you can match a color after doing it for several years. This works especially well prior to spraying the canvas if you have an issue..

  It would be interesting to know more about this method.
  Getting the print back in with perfect register may be a problem, even 1mm off would miss the 'spot'.
  What is the general idea...make a selection/s on the original file, copy it to a new file ad print that?
