  • I don't know if it will work after going through the drier, but ink can be removed with milk. Pour a small amount of milk in a bowl. Rinse area in the milk. The milk will get inky. Pour it out and repeat with a fresh bowl of milk. Repeat till no more ink comes out. Rinse in cold water then wash as usual. I have used this method for years and it works.
