I got a lot of black printer ink on my hands. The only household cleaner that removed it was Shout Stain Remover. It removed the ink completely with 3 applications.

RE: Printer Ink on Skin
Use some liquid bleach for whitening clothes, and rub on your skin. It will definitely get rid of the ink, but make sure that you wash the area with some soap and warm water quickly so as not get a skin irritation. (05/19/2008)

Try Rubbing Alcohol or Fingernail Polish Remover (the kind that's not made for artificial nails is made with Acetone, here in the USA). (05/19/2008)

Try hairspray. When I worked in a store we would from time to time get ink from the cash register on us. One of the boys showed us spraying it on and waiting a bit got it off. Also, works as a pre-wash for ink. Spray on and let it sit a bit then wash. (05/21/2008)

Pour some liquid 101 bleach on your hands and rub it in. Make sure you wash your hands right away as liquid bleach can be caustic on your skin. Bleach will remove ink all the time. (06/04/2009)

I worked in a printing shop for years. Alcohol works fine. Use a rough towel to apply and rub rub rub. Be sure to use a good hand cream after so you don't dry out your hands. It does work! (06/05/2009)

Most commercially manufactured hand sanitizers have an alcohol base, so will stay on your skin a little longer. The Purell brand also has a nice scent. (06/07/2009)
