    Hair spray works great on ink just spray it on and blot it off DO NOT RUB that will only spread the stain. Keep spraying and blotting til iit is gone then launder as usual

    if you have not put it in the dryer since the stain got on it, apply hairspray to it then wash. hairspray helps w/ink stains. good luck

    Acetone (finger nail polish remover) will dissolve the ink, if it’s from a ballpoint pen. The acetone can also damage some synthetic fabrics so test it in an inconspicuous spot first. The acetone will also tend to spread the stain so you need to apply some and then blot with a clean rag or paper towel, and repeat as necessary until the ink is gone. Then run the shirt through the laundry.
