If you have a female companion, nail varnish and a 20 hair brush can be used to touch up missing toner on the PCB. I use a cheap spray can of car paint, spray it in the cap and load the brush from that. Then, using two pairs of reading glasses, (unless you are not old and wrinkley) touch up the board.

No.. they print dark. I’m not
sure if it’s some kind of weird illusion with the magazine
paper. I’m going to try an ironing with one later and
see what actually transpires. I have another question – I did
another transfer of some of the smaller boards I needed –
and it looks great except just a couple of tiny spots.
Looking at pictures of the original boards from SWTPC, it
looked like they solved these issues by simply bridging
solder. But I’m wondering if there’s another way.. is
there anything equivalent to ‘touch up paint’ I could
apply to spots where the traces are or risk being broken to
stop the etchant there? From: Homebrew_PCBs@yahoogroups.com

attempt at toner transfer Do the same traces print
lighter on regular paper? Sometimes the toner inside the
cartridge is used up unevenly after some usage. Try removing
the cartridge and gently rocking it to help the toner powder
distribute more evenly. Print a couple of pages after that
to make sure there's no clumps on the drum, then try
your PCB pattern again.
