I never used Spotone on digital prints unless they were 1270 prints. Since all my prints are pigments now that is what I uset to spot them. As you all know, occasionally you end up with a tiny white flake dot here and there or some spot from the print sticking to something or other. I use Windsor Newton watercolor pigments since they are the most stable and will outlast my prints most likely. When I let the watercolor dry I then spray the print with a uv spray usually. For black and white pigment work I use the paynes grey WN pigment often combined with a little sienna, burnt umber, or blue if the print is toned. You can get quite good at this and it works quite well. However, I don't miss the old days of sitting up nights with the jewelers glasses on and dust spotting silver prints. Thank the lord for the healing brush and fluid mounted drum scans. There are better things to do with ones time. John
