It is mostly cotton. It is a US Postal uniform shirt if this helps.
It is a major ink stain.

    it depends on the type of ink that it is , you could try rubbing alcohol, nail polish remover , here is a link .

    Its not going to be easy. Alcohol or hairspray will get ink out, but a major or large stain is going to spread before it comes out. I’d toss it.

    Rubbing alcohol. Just dab a little on it and it will come out even before you wash it. I worked at a department store and got black ink on a white shirt and my customer told me about it. Works like a charm. Good luck!

    I’ve heard lemon juice and a soft toothbrush, then soak. Haven’t tried it, so don’t know for sure.

    get some glycerin. you can buy it in liquid or you can get a thing of glycerin suppositories. i like the suppositories because you can rub it right in to the stain. let that sit for a half an hour then spray with a combination solvent (like shout or spray and wash) then launder as usual. hope this helps!
