Default erasable ink?

I was wondering if anyone knows the best way (if possible) to prepare ink
for an inkjet refillable cartridge, or perhaps the paper itself, so that the
pigment can be erased/removed after it's printed.

I need to draw an extensive set of guidelines on 24lb. HP Bright White
inkjet paper and dont want to do this by hand as it's very time-consuming.
Guidelines will obviously need to be removed after the layout is
constructed.

I'm just trying to get ideas to streamline my operation long-term.

Thanks in advance

Do not which program you are using, but in Excel you can tell the
program to show grid lines OR not via print set up. Perhaps your
program can do the same?

During the typewriter century, office suppliers sold
1. Ink eradicator fluid.
2. "Corrasable bond" paper, supposed to stand up to
ink erasers better than cheaper paper.
3. Tippex = white liquid to obscure typing, to permit
retyping something else in the same place.

Computer technology suggests the commercial market is
satisfied by printing anew if alterations are needed.

Sure you can't do it in Photoshop, a CAD package,
Coral Draw, or 3DS Max?
Then the guidelines can be a separate layer.
Does it have to be 24lb HP inkjet paper?
Can you lay mylar drafting film on guidelines, draw on the
matt surface, mylar is dimensionally stable, fairly
transparent, and you can erase.
Then take the finished masterpiece down to your local
colour laser copyshop, and have it printed off on HP paper.
Or put the masterpiece on a flatbed scanner, scan,
make any scaling adjustments in PS, and print on
inkjet printer.
If the finished drawing had coloured guidelines then you
could make these disappear in PS by erasing/replacing
the guideline colour.
(cinema blue screen technique)
Just a few ideas as you don't say exactly what you
want to do, whether you are working in mono, etc.
