Digital BW, The Print

Coming out of the darkroom side of production, I am quite used to grabbing
my spotting brushes; 0 to 00000 in size. If you have been printing for any
period of time, you'll have the "empty" carts around and one of them should
supply you with enough color to last a life time of spotting. a small piece
of plexi, a plate, a scrap piece of glass and some distilled water and you
are ready to go. Practice on a scrap piece of paper to get eh wetness and
color density right.

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?
