How can I get printer ink out of my denim shorts?

I didn't know I had ink on the back of my shorts(received from leaning on a counter at a photo shop), so I don't know if it is printer, pen or whatever else kid of ink there is out there. They have already gone through the washer %26amp; dryer. Is there any way to remove the stain. The shorts are beige. Any advice to get rid of it or make it so it is not so noticeable on my behind would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.How can I get printer ink out of my denim shorts?
I use to work in a rubber stamp shop inking pads. got lots of ink off of my hands washing with common dish soap. Maybe could saturate the area with dish soap and let set for a bit and rewash in washer. do not dry until checking to see if it was removed.


Another thing I've used for set in stains with much success is oxyclean. Mixed oxyclean in bathroom sink as directed with hot water. pre-soak you shorts and then wash again as usual.


Did this with a cute little dress that was given to a freind for her little girl with lots of set in stains on bright colorful fabric. Came out beautifully.


Since you've already washed and dried could already be set in, but oxyclean might be your best bet for success.

Being as they have already bee through the washer and dryer, I don't know. But I can tell you that denatured alcohol that you can find in the hardware section at walmart is very good at removing ink. It will take just about any kind of permanent ink out. But I have never used it on clothing where the stain has been set. But it is worth a try as it is not very expensive.
I have two different methods that I like for removing ink. The first is Carbona Stain Devils #3 and the second would be a Biz boil. I think in your case you should definitely use the Biz boil because the stain has been set in. Boil water in a large pot and add 1 cup of Biz, boil shorts for 45 min to an hour. Let cool then launder. I would not dry again untill you are certain all the stain is gone.
Hair spray, shout, spray and wash





I have used baby wipes to get ink out of already washed clothes. It make take a few but it usually gets it out.
