    Hi, Alma, First-- you touch up *after* the image is on the metal, not
    on your copy. That said, if you go to an art or hobby store and ask
    for paint pens, they should have them. Brand doesn't matter. Mine
    are Marvy. They come in "fine", which is pretty big, and "extra
    fine" which makes a mark about the size of a rollerball type pen,
    and can be used for most fine lines. Any color-- but I suggest not
    black, so you can see what you've done. One other thing-- even
    Sharpie marker will help strengthen your resist a bit. Paint marker
    is better. 

HTH! --Noel
