AKA non photo blue pencils..... there are a red kind... i think called ruby.
the trick is they are the same intensity as white... so when you set a
scanner to Greyscale... it goes by the monocrome tone... and since the blue
is the same tone as the white... i detects the blue as white....
note it only works in greyscale or black and white scans... you scan it in
color and you will see it......
i got around three boxes of the pencils.... blue for me
