Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Drop out ink is ink specifically colored to avoid reading in high-speed OCR scanners. It is often a pastel yellow, red or orange.
The purpose for dropping out specific colors is to allow the OCR scanner to ignore those colors and operate only on the foreground information.[1]
Drop out ink is often used in the finance industry for automated paper invoice processing.
Drop out ink is not the same as inks that have been screened down.
