Marshalls Spotting Dyes for black/white print spotting are no longer being manufactured.

What are folks using to spot their prints these days?

Thanks!

What makes you think Marshall Retouching is out of business? B&H currently has all kinds of their products in stock. Lots of other places carry it too. What hypothetically went out of business was SpotTone. But that really didn't disappear in any functional sense, because Marshall bought their product line and re-issued it under their own name, along with their own selection of products. No different than the classic SpotTone dyes I've been using all along.

watercolors in a variety of shades of gray, and tonalities to match various processes and papers.

Spotone dyes; very, very fine brush; B&L stereo microscope.

No spotting allowed in my castle

I used to DIGI-Spot out dust on computer

I have 2 of the ancient ADAMS analog retouching machines

Quit all that

I try real hard to be 'dust free enough' for my standards

Vintage Grumbacher GAMMA Photo Retouch Kit #25-14. Took me a year to find a backup set. The mid-aged staff in two local art supply stores never even heard of it, so I'm guessing it was discontinued in the 1980s.
