  To make sure it is original signature. Black is sometimes hard to tell.

  what difference does that make? a faxed copy is acceptable as long as it is legible so it can be veified on the atf wesite it ships to the business not a person

  I'm not sure but I think faxed copies are only recently acceptable. Before that it was hardcopies only, which is why the red/blue thing happened. As for now....old habits die hard.

  ..I think it dates to when a color printer/copier was almost unknown, especially in the home or small business. I always sign in red, whether asked to or not.

  Red also does not xerox really well. Intended to see that it was actually signed- not a copy of a previously signed FFL. With the use of faxed copies, EZCheck on-line verification, not as important as used to be. I just keep a red pen in the cup on my desk, and sign with that. If it keeps seller happy.....

  All documents that have been " cleaned " by censors like Freedom of Information released documents that have been requested, have those dark black lines across portions they don't want to you to see.
  
  Thats red ink or red marker that's used.
  
  Red ink,it copies/ xerox very well.

  Even though a FAXED FFL is now acceptable by BATF the law still requires that a copy of your FFL must be signed in ink. Therefore if you are mailed or mail a copy of your FFL it must be signed and not a copy of a signature. Red and blue ink are a lot easier to tell whether or not the signature is a copy or not.
