Re: [Digital BW] Touch-up pen for matte paper flakes? Is there such a thing?

2007-08-07 by Sarah Renkes

I don't know what I'd do w/o this forum....it's just great to get a variety of suggestions to 
any given query....thanks all of you.

Given the simplicity, the fact I printed using Eboni ink only and the number of prints to 
correct...I'm going to try your waste ink approach, Mark. I think you might have just saved 
me a bucket of money...I'm crossing my fingers I won't have to re-print. HPR 13X19 is 
expensive! Learned my lesson on the wipe-down, that's for sure. Yikes.

Thanks again to all!!!
Sarah
