Can one spot R2400 EPSG prints?

2005-12-11 by Scott Jones

Greetings,

I was printing away today and noticed that an image I have worked up 
from very small size to about 11x14, has now shown a bright white spot 
in some foliage off to one side. I didn't see this in the smaller 
prints. I checked the original scanned negative file and lo and behold 
it was there. Perhaps a scanning artifact or dust that I had missed in 
my spotting run on the file. I have since fixed it in the master file, 
but my question is this:

I would like to save this print instead of reprinting it. I there a way 
to spot this area to a middle gray? In the darkroom world, I would have 
been able to easily do this with spotone. This particular spot would 
have taken me several dabs with a fine brush.

I am specifically printing with R2400, ABW, K3 inks on Epson Premium 
Semigloss paper.

Any advice???
