A damaged area of the printed image is identified and a reprinting segmenton the printed image is determined such as to overlap the identified damaged area. With the printer a layer of printing fluid is printed over the damaged image and a correction printing template is printed. The correction printing template includes a segment of the printing template that corresponds to the reprinting segment of the printed image.
