Thanks to whoever had the idea of using blue color for #notebook squares, by the way.

@Ailantd So that you can easily take them out after scanning? :D

You can get magic scanner-invisible pencils too that are in a special blue colour :O

@Curator Yes! Easier to remove if blue!

@Ailantd @Curator Easier to remove if not black or dark.
Some shades or "non-photo" blue worked well with special reproduction cameras. Magic not involved. With color scanners it would be a defect if it skipped some blues.
Nowadays it makes sense to draw lines with your colored pens along with black and then scan it with your own scanner and then see which shade is easiest to remove. Could be light blue, could be something else.

@Curator @Ailantd if i use regular pencils i just use a kneadable eraser/blutack to lighten the pencil lines before erasing them, it easier on the paper.
