Nicole January 13, 2009 at 8:21 pm: I’ve heard about a gel that removes ink. Has anyone ever used a gel and do you know the name of it?
IceKat83 February 4, 2009 at 9:52 pm: Yahoo answers said dishwashing liquid and sugar and that works quite well. Plus it cleaned my silver ring too.
Donna February 17, 2009 at 12:52 pm: Alcohol works great to remove ink and it doesn’t leave any stickiness behind like hairspray does.
margaret108 February 22, 2009 at 12:50 pm: I have used both rubbing alcohol and hairspray for stubborn ink stains. Both work well and hairspray is great for taking marker off of things it doesn’t belong on.
Jonna February 22, 2009 at 11:29 pm: I have used baby oil to remove printer ink. The oily texture breaks up the ink and also leaves your skin baby soft.
Michael March 23, 2009 at 11:28 pm: Don’t get ink on your hands, But if you do, Use hairspray (:

Ivan August 30, 2009 at 6:31 pm Acetone: from hard surfaces (glossy painted metal that you don’t wont to scratch) acetone (main ingridient in nail polish remover) works quite well – even on dried up ink – just spray it on and wipe. The wipe has to be pretty saturated though and make sure you USE it IN WELL VENTILATED AREA. And it WILL REMOVE your fingernail POLISH! Read Acetone instructions very carefully! It will melt foam cups, may damage wood finish and some plastics. However, Nail polish is very cheap. Good Luck! (now i’m gonna go and test that alcohol idea)
Fingerprinted November 19, 2009 at 12:58 pm Great!!: Acetone and hair sprays worked very well with me. Baby oil was so so. Thank you guys for sharing these ideas!
