This only works on proper photographs, not the ones you print on a printer.

I used cotton buds and nail polish remover. Just a little dab of polish remover on the cotton bud and start to wipe away. If the cotton bud gets saturated with ink, use the other end or another cotton bud. Really easy. I removed ink that had been on for almost 40 years.

Materials Needed:
Dry-erase marker
Clean cloth

Step 1
Place your photo on a flat surface. Wipe the photo with your cloth to ensure the photo is dry.

Step 2
On a corner of your photo or another small area, test the dry-erase marker. Only apply a small stroke over the permanent marker.

Step 3
Wait 30 seconds before using a soft cloth to wipe the dry-erase marks away.

Step 4
If the permanent marker comes off the photo, then reapply the dry-erase marker to a one-inch square.

Step 5
Wipe the dry-erase marker immediately.

Step 6
Continue applying the dry-erase marker to the photo and wiping the area.

The same thing happened on a few of my photos. I used a product called Un-DU. You get it at craft stores. It can usually be found in the scrapbooking section. It can also be used to unstick pictures.

This product is wonderful and will not harm the pictures in any way. Do not use any other product on your pictures but UN-DU. Hope this helps.

The pictures (school-Life Touch) that I received from my grandbabies have the ink from the back of the prior photo. There is a lot and it is gel pen ink. The cotton balls and alcohol did not work! Please, any suggestions would be very welcome. Help!

Gel pen ink sometimes come right off with a pencil eraser! It's worked for me before! Maybe try rubbing your finger on it too! That seriously works sometimes too! I hope the photos are ok!

I just had this happen to me. If you very carefully scrape the photograph with a razor blade, you can scrape the laser toner off. If there are any tiny bumps in the picture, and you apply too much pressure, you will expose the white paper behind the photo.

I was able to salvage the only copy I had of a particular photo of my son when he was in preschool, enough that I can now take it to a professional to Photoshop the remaining imperfections.

I just came back from China and took many pictures. Unfortunately, I wrote on the back with a permanent black pen and put each one on top of each other. Now the pictures are smeared with ink! How do I get the ink off glossy pictures?

There is a product called Un-DO. It will remove the ink and will not harm the photos. You can get it at any craft store and I have also seen it at Lowes. There is another product by Un-Do that removes candle wax from anything. If you would happen to have pictures stuck to those old magnetic albums, Un-Do will remove them almost instantly.

One more thing, if you have to remove a stamp from a envelope for whatever reason Un-Do will remove it and when the Un-Do evaporates the stamp will be sticky and just like new. Hope this helps

I worked in a photo lab for nine years. We cleaned ink off with a cotton ball and a small amount of rubbing alcohol. Gently rub the ink off. The alcohol dries quickly and does not soak the picture.

I just used a q-tip and rubbing alcohol. The ink has been on there for probably 18 years. Worked fantastic.
