Depends on the color ink. Black is the best for coping purposes. Other colors are tougher to copy, especially in handwritten forms.

*IF* you're attempting to use OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software to scan a handwritten document, you'll not get good (if any) results.
OCR software is written to recognize only certain Computer Fonts, NOT handwriting.
You CAN however, scan a handwritten document as a GRAPHIC, but you won't be able to edit it as text. You'll have to use a Graphics Editor program.

Sometimes you have to put something dark behind it so theres contrast but make sure the scanner picks up both papers.
