Why does the ink from an editor's pencil disappear when you put it through a Xerox machine?
Xerox photocopying machines used to be more sensitive to some colors than to others. In particular, they were insensitive to blue and certain felt tipped markers using blue ink could be used and their marks would not be copied by photocopy machines.
Traditionally, editor's pencils were blue and so their markings could "disappear" from copies of marked-up proofs.
However, modern photocopy machines, especially the ones that copy in color, must be equally sensitive to blue as to other colors or their output would be generally unacceptable. So "disappearing blue" is much less common now.
