This is not a very noticeable error, but it bothered me.

Use the X-Acto Knife to scrape off unwanted streaks or ink splatters
X-Acto knives are good for fixing small mistakes. I like to use the point of a knife to pick out tiny ink splatters. You may be able to use it to "erase" parts of letters as well. For example, look at the word "Archival" below, where the "e" is replaced by the letter "c".
