Hi Sarah,

An easy way is to print a step wedge on a piece of glossy paper. The ink
doesn't bond tightly and can be lifted with a damp spotting brush and
then applied to the areas of the print that need spotting. The main
advantage of this approach is that it gives you 21 steps of gray so
matching the  flaked area is fairly easy. Also, you can put the wedge
aside when you are finished and use it again when needed. It's a bit
like using a ceramic dish with the old spot tone dyes without the manual
mixing.
