Staedtler Pencil Non-Photo Blue

Non-photo blue (or non-repro blue) is a common tool used in the graphic design and print industry. It is a particular shade of blue that can not be detected by Graphic Arts Cameras or copiers. This allows artists to lay down sketch lines without the need to erase after inking. Staedtler's wood-cased pencil produces non-photo blue lines at a great economical price.
