How do you repair the PCB before etching it ?

After I have pressed the printed copy of my circuit onto the copper plate, there were some obvious errors. Traces not connected, pads incomplete, etc.
I was thinking that if I had a marking pencil/pen of the same composition as what the laser printer had imprinted, I would have been able to repair the board before the etching bath. I tried a permanent marker but it failed as I expected.
If anybody invents something that could do this, they will make a fortune.

Just simply don't use toner transfer. Use dry film photoresist or presensitized PCB's instead - you will get much higher quality and repeatability. Then you don't need to fix errors by hand, you just fix your errors in PCB design software and re-print transparency.
