Create clean inked artwork by sketching in blue that scanners ignore
It vanishes during reproduction. This Staedtler non-photo blue pencil lays down guidelines, panel borders, and preliminary drawings that black-and-white photocopiers won't detect, leaving only your final inked work visible. The specific blue wavelength falls outside the sensitivity range of standard copying equipment, eliminating the need to erase construction lines before reproduction.
Digital workflows benefit equally. Scanned images separate cleanly in editing software, delete the blue channel and your preliminary work disappears, leaving crisp black linework without ghost marks or smudges that plague traditional graphite underdrawings. This matters when you're working to deadline and can't afford time-consuming cleanup.
The pencil maintains consistent color density throughout its life, ensuring your guidelines remain visible enough for accurate inking but light enough to disappear during capture. Comic artists working panel-to-panel, technical illustrators building complex diagrams, and designers sketching precise layouts all rely on this traditional solution that bridges analog drawing and reproduction technology.
