Digital BW, The Print

Hi Sarah:

Here's a quick way to deal with this issue. You can cut and paste the  
areas that have spots onto a new 8.5x11 sheet and stick a few pieces  
of clear cellophane tape in the areas where the printer will apply  
the ink. I would not use too many pieces of tape (maybe 3-5 spaced  
out on the sheet).

You can also get a full sheet the same size as your print and spot  
apply the cellophane tape, print and apply from there, but that seems  
like a waste.

After making a print (using the same settings as your original), just  
dab on the ink that is sitting on the clear plastic with a small  
brush like an artist uses a palette. I think that you'll find the  
color match to be much better that way.

Although the tape idea is one that I came up with, I learned this  
general touch up tip from someone on one of the fine Yahoo forums  
(maybe this one) a few years back. He or she used a plastic sheet to  
print on (such the uncoated back of a piece of inkjet-compatible film).

Hope that works for you.

All the best,

Andrew Darlow
