I had some papers that I had printed in my SUV (Ford Explorer) in which I have leather seats. The papers were printed from an LaserJet printer and were face down. Anyway, they were probably in there for a week or two and when I went to take them out the ink had come off of the paper and onto the seat. What can I do to get the ink off? I have tried leather cleaner and an all-purpose cleaner which has lightened it but not totally remove it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

You can't. It will wear off over the course of years but there is nothing to take it off.
My son (3 at the time) got an ink pen one Sat. morning and drew all over my new $3000 leather couch. I tried everything and called leather places. Nothing takes ink pen out. So I don't think printer ink will be any different.
Sorry!

Get Ink Off Of Leather

You have what is known as dye transfer. You need a strong detergent cleaner like Maxi Cleaner to try to remove this. The dye will have gone into the finish on the leather and the deeper it has gone the harder it will be to remove. A good leather technician will have the proper products to do this and he may have to replace finish and pigment so it is best left to him/her to do.
A good leather protector will inhibit this kind of thing happening again.

try a product called Acrysolve. its a precleaner for auto paint and decals. I used it when I was an auto detail-er to remove almost anything from seats, carpet, dashes, ect. It doesnt fade colors or paint if its clear coat, and there is no lasting odor. it may temporarily darken leather but will return to normal in a day or so.Kent is the manufacturer.

lighter fluid (the kind for zippos), you'll smell it a little while but then it dissipates and ink gone!

try something with alcohol such as aftershave or even rubbing alcohol.
