Like a bozo, I didn't take the time to wipe down the paper before printing, and now I have glaring white spots where the paper has flaked....damn HPR! Anyone have suggestions for a way to touch these areas up? thanks, Sarah

Open your maintenance tank, use some "wet" ink from there, take a very small brush, 00000, and test on a waste piece of HPR until you have the matched density, then spot it like a silver print. Good to keep some waste ink around in a film can for future uses. Mark

I use Spotpens, but Mark's suggestion is brilliant and deceptively obvious... Tyler --- In DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint@yahoogroups.com, "sagaface" <sagaface@...> wrote: > > Like a bozo, I didn't take the time to wipe down the paper before printing, and now I have

I use Windsor Newton watercolor pigments custom blended and a good red sable #1 brush. Build it up gradually, in very light layers, and use tiny dots, not big blobs of wet ink. Mark does have the best idea for black and white, and much color, use some of that ink Epson forces us to waste. Which reminds me, if I don't empty that waste tank I'm going to have plenty on my floor next week to mop up. I always let it go too far. john --- In DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint@yahoogroups.com, "Tyler Boley" <tyler@...> wrote:

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 --------------------------------------------------- Andrew Darlow Editor, The Imaging Buffet http://www.imagingbuffet.com On Aug 7, 2007, at 2:31 PM, sagaface wrote: > Like a bozo, I didn't take the time to wipe down the paper before > printing, and now I have > glaring white spots where the paper has flaked....damn HPR! > > Anyone have suggestions for a way to touch these areas up? > > thanks, > Sarah > > > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

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.

John, What, no waste bypass tube installed? I have not looked in my maintenance tank in over 2 1/2 years. I wonder what is in there? :)Mark On Aug 7, 2007, at 4:05 PM, john dean wrote: > Which reminds me, if I don't empty that waste tank I'm going > to have plenty on my floor next week to mop up.

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.

I know. I keep forgetting your bottle and tube approach. I need to do that with all my printers so I never have to think about it again. Can you tell me why Epson didn't think of that? --- In DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint@yahoogroups.com, Mark Savoia <mark@...> wrote:

They did (sort of), an Epson tech told me how to do it years ago starting with the 9000. Mark

Mark, for the chipped tank printers do you just leave a tank in and reset the chip when prompted? Tyler --- In DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint@yahoogroups.com, Mark Savoia <mark@...> wrote:

Yes sir. I have lost track how many times I have done the resets over the years. Mark
