    I have an Epson pigment ink print (grayscale/b&w photo) on Moab Juniper Baryta paper with a couple white spots–I’m guessing a speck of something on the paper during printing. Any ideas for how to spot that? Using traditional Spot Tone? Any kind of pencil or paint recommended?

    The easiest and best quality thing to do may be just to reprint it. Does consume a piece of paper and some ink, but may be worthwhile.

    If reprinting is not an option or preferable I’d suggest something along the lines of the Pigma Micron pens which are available in a wide variety of nib sizes and colours. I don’t use them often but they have done the job for me a few times.

    You may be able to spot with such pens but depending on the angle of light hitting the paper, the difference of texture between the spotted area and the surrounding area will probably show.
