non-photo

A very pale blue that is invisible to a camera or photo­copier. A non-photo pen or pencil may be used to make notes on an original: paper may be printed with a non-photo blue grid to allow for easy line-up. In either case, as copiers become more sensitive, you should advise your customer to test these products first.

I love this product. I am of an age where these older hands often shake. I also love sparkle and glitter on some of my crafts. Stickles gives me control, it doesn't shed when dry and I love all of the colors. I truly recommend this to anyone who loves glitter, but not the mess!
