Removing Copic ink

[stampinbee]

Is there anything that will remove copic ink from clothing?

Your link took me to a shading book; I think this might be the one you wanted instead. ;)

I was able to remove black printer ink from a pink pair of shorts with cheap hair spray. Spray stained area, let sit a minute or two, rub & rinse with cool water, let dry, repeat.

Took many applications, ultimately did remove a tiny bit of pink dye from shorts in treated area but that's acceptable since it's much less noticeable than the ink stains.

I'll still wear them as I have several tops that go with them & I can't find others to match that pink.

I don't have Copics so I may be way off here but my first thought was the blender pen/fluid, it's supposed to dissolve and remove alcohol ink.

Another idea, do you have any Stazon cleaner, although you might want to test it on an inside seam or something first.


My first option would be hairspray though, it can and has worked miracles for me in the past.


Whatever you try, wash the garment right away but DO NOT put in the dryer so the stain isn't permanently set and you can try again.

That isn't really what the blender does. It actually moves ink around, but doesn't technically make it disappear. It isn't an eraser.

I use alcohol on my sharpie marks on clothes (on ballpoint ink as well). Would that be the same?

Two cleaners that may help are 1) Goop hand cleaner or 2) brake cleaner. Both of which can be found in an auto parts store, e.g. AutoZone, O'reilly's, or NAPA.
Due to our family of auto mechanics and machine repairmen, I have found it necessary to use certain cleaners to get out grease, oil, stains, inks, etc. They work wonders but with any cleaners or chemicals, caution and common sense should be foremost.

I just saw Shannon Green's video on Amodex ink and stain remover.
