Hi. I am interested in producing my own animation and comics, and I am in the market for new art pencils.

I know what non-photo pencils are- their lead does not show up when you photocopy it.

I know what non-photo blue pencils are.

Some artists use non-photo red ones also.

I am heard of col-erase pencils, but are col-erase and non-photo pencils the same thing?

I should know this- I haven't kept with this stuff in years.

I need to know this- I am trying to find an online retailer who sells non-photo red pencils.

Please help- thank you.

@JGoldman10,

I googled colour erase pencils definition and this was the first thing that popped up. They can just be rubbed out, nothing about them not showing up on photocopies.

Does anyone here know where I can buy non-photo RED pencils?
I've been trying to find an online vendor that sells those.

Non-photo blue pencils are easy to get.

I contacted Prismacolor. According to a company rep I spoke with over the phone, Prismacolor Premier Col-Erase Carmine Red (20045) is a non-photo red pencil.
