if anyone can bottle some secret formula for these things they'll be a couple hundred dollaraire. I even tried straight water in the zim gun and blew a hole straight through that puppy. Still took the dye out! Please tell me someone has a solution that works. These make for very expensive rags.

If you can catch the spot before it's dry, a quick spray of some screeno, denatured alcohol, or lacquer thinner can get the spot out. Some color combos work better than others, and if it is a big spot of ink on a light garment, you might be SOL. Works best for darker garments, and will leave a ring if not dried quickly. I do my best not to ever use garment dyed for this very reason. Expensive rags indeed!

I agree, a big ink spot would be just a waste of time to try and remove on a Comfort Colors tee. Personally I have found small ink spots easier to clean after they've gone through the dryer it also reduces any ink migration you might get when cleaning a wet ink spot. A less aggressive cleaning solution is probably also the way to go.
