You can't take ink out because when the clothes dry the ink sets. The same thing happened to me. I wouldn't dry whites in the dryer for awhile.

Hairspray and a clean white towel behind the stain and a clean white towel to dab it. It should work on the inside of the dryer too. Being that you said it's everywhere, you might be in for a night of work.
I scratched my shoulder once with a pen, thinking I had the other end and I had about 20 lines of ink on the shoulder of my blouse. The hairspray took it right out. Of course, this had never been dried, so I wish you luck.

According to Tide.com : "Carefully apply ink remover to the stained area of the garment. Use paper towels to absorb the ink coming off the item and to avoid transfer. The recommended ink remover is NCP Jinx Ink." The phone number for the ink remover is available on the Tide.com site.
If it were me, I would try Joe Campnelli's Professional Stain Remover available thru QVC. It even removes permanent marker ink.

Goof Off 2 for the dryer (it has less of a foul odor than the original). Hairspray for the clothes.

Oh my...... hairspray is good for removing ink, but I would be careful using it to clean the dryer, make sure its cleaned off well.

I used nail polish remover inside the dryer bin. After it was cleaned, I washed it out with a mild soap and dryed it. (To avoid starting a fire since nail polish remover is flammable).
I was so mad when this happened because my dryer was NEW!
My son had a red bic pen in his pants and didn't take it out.

I spray the clothes with hairspray and then rub the area. It disappears right before your eyes. Then simply re-wash your clothes as normal. This works on most fabrics, but not all. It will not work on dry-clean only fabrics.

handsoap mixed with hairspray....and a toothbrush, and lots of energy! (take shavings of the soap, add hairspray to make a paste)
