Try Hairspray, I know it sounds wierd but I have heard people talk about using it to get out stains. Also I really like the new tide pen- that is good as an immediate fix. Just make sure that it does not go in the dryer until the stain is out, or else it will get set.

Try using some hairspray. Spray the hairspray on the inky part. Then wash the same area in a sink with soap and water.

Spray hairspray on stain, then wash.
