Bit of an odd question. Tried googling in hope of an answer but could find nothing relevant. I've just received my new AU passport and I want to scan the ID page for purpose of keeping on file when needed for points of ID check for bank account applications etc. The problem with doing this is the passport has some sort of built in anti-scanning copy-protection such that when subjected to UV light, all the blue portions (visible by eye under normal ambient light) of the ID page light up bright pink when scanned under the artificial light of a flatbed scanner. Does anyone know how to document scan the new passports to get the correct colours reproduced instead of everything coming out bright pink?
Obviously I'm not going to post the evidence of my own scanning of my own passport to prove what I'm saying, but here's a generic example from a google image search.

All the bright pink coloured sections in this generic sample image of an Australian passport from that news article linked above are actually blue when viewed with the naked eye.
