Sorry, I guess that was kind of cryptic.   I meant after the transfer
adding an etch resistant paint over the traces (on the board).   But
from what you're saying this would only address the symptom and not
the cause (symptom being pinholes and cause being faulty print), so
I'll just put my effort into examining my printing skills.
