THE COLOR IS CYAN, AND THE CARPET IS BEIGE

I had just had the carpets cleaned when the next day dropped a toner cartridge on the carpet. Did not want to have it cleaned again, I tried several different substances before I found one that took all the ink out. It is a cleanser that has peroxide in it, so you could probably try using a mixture of water and peroxide on the carpet. Dab with a white towel. Do not rub, or you will be pushing the color further down into the carpet. As long as you have color coming onto the rag, you are pulling ink out of the carpet. Might take several attempts. You also might have to redo it once the carpet has dried. This is called wicking when the stain comes back up to the surface.

Do not use a steam cleaner. it could make matters worse at this point.
Take a piece of good ole duck tape, and double it over so it's sticky on both sides. Dab that on the spot then immediately switch spots on the tape and dab again. The sticky tape should pull the remainder out for you without spreading the ink to the rest of the carpet.
Do not use a lint roller, use duck tape.
If there is still a bit left, squirt the spot with some foaming shaving cream let it set for 15 minutes, blot and rinse with vinegar and water.
I think the duck tape will finish the job. If there is still some left after the shaving cream take a clean damp cloth and punch the knuckle of your index finger into the cloth. Put it down on top of the stain and twist your hand clockwise. This removes the stain from between the threads without causing the fibers to get fuzzy.
