Rubbing alcohol or any of the antibacterial gels will get most of it out, not a fan of the hair spray method

I use hairspray on the ink spot, then blot both sides of fabric, apply another spray of hairspray, repeat blotting. Then spray with prewash stain remover and wash at once. Works for me.

Use cheap hair spray like aqua net and really douse it well. Rub it after it sets for about 5 minutes. Repeat if necessary.

I have always heard that hair spray works. I would imagine some of those spray ons that you use before doing the laundry would work too.
