> Someone asked my about the spotting pens I mentioned in another post.  They are the 6-piece "Shades of Grey" set of the Faber-Castell Pitt Artist Pens with pigment inks.  These are brush pens, the tip being a soft but sharply pointed brush.  The sharp point makes possible a very precise touch on the flake spot.  Just the briefest touch is all that's required because the ink flows liberally.

They have saved many a print over the years.  I've had my set for almost five years now, they don't seem to dry out.
