The production paper for manga — what non-photo blue means in practice
Deleter manuscript paper is made for manga production. The non-photo blue guidelines — panel borders, safe area borders, and crop marks — are printed in a specific pale blue that most photographic scanners exclude when operating in greyscale mode. This means the artist can ink directly over the blue guidelines with confidence: the pencil panel layout, the blue guidelines, and the inked linework all coexist on the page during production, but when the finished page is scanned correctly only the black ink appears in the output. This is not a trick or a filter applied after the fact — it is a property of how standard photographic sensors interpret colour wavelengths, and it is the production method used by professional manga artists in Japan. The 110gsm paper weight is chosen specifically to accept dip pen inks cleanly without feathering while remaining light enough to handle conveniently in a stack of forty pages.
Type A versus Type BType A has the standard production set of guidelines: outer border, safe area border, and crop marks. This is the professional production format — everything that a scan needs to be correctly trimmed and laid out, nothing extraneous. Type B adds further helper lines to assist with panel layout — horizontal guides at regular intervals that help maintain consistent gutter widths and panel heights without measuring. For an experienced manga artist, Type A is the correct choice. For beginners who are still developing a reliable sense of panel proportion and gutter consistency, Type B's additional structure provides useful scaffolding.
