similar method that professional graphic artists use to touch up photographs
(although, they call it "layering"). This is also similar to the advice to
create a document and print it out over the top of a pre-printed form, but
you can save yourself a lot of wasted paper by seeing exactly where the text
will go before you print a single page. I posted a video on youtube about
how it works so you can see how easy it is:
