How to remove ink from clothes
Place a cloth underneath the stain.
If you are working on a fresh stain, you should try to absorb as much ink as possible. Before blotting the stain, place a white cloth or rag underneath the stained portion of the garment.
This will prevent the stain from spreading to the back of the garment while you attempt to remove it. Use a white cloth to ensure that the color of the cloth doesn't lift and further stain the garment you're working on.
