Pen on khakis?
Question:I accidentally got a small mark from a pen on my new pair of khakis. Is there any way for this to come out without me ruining my good pants? Thanks.

i'm agreeing with the hairspray folks! worked on a deep red lipstick too!!
whatever you do - do NOT put it into the dryer before checking to see if it's all out. once you dry it it's set adn there is no turning back.
hairspray works really good! just spray some on there and throw it in the washer!
There is a great product called LESTOIL. This will get anything out of clothes. I had an ink toner at work blow up all over a beige suit I had, the lady at my local laundry gave me a cap full of that stuff, I washed the suit with a cap full of Lestoil and you would never know i was covered in ink.
Spray it with cheap hairspray and wash. This usually works. I keep a can of cheap hairspray in with my laundry supplies for this purpose.
Spray N Wash or Shout should do the trick. You could also make a paste of washing powder and rub that in and let it set, or put some liquid detergent on it and rub it in. Examine the spot carefully before putting in the dryer. If it doesn't all come out and you dry it in the dryer, the heat will set what's left and it may never come out. If you're not sure, hang dry them and examine again. You may have to wash twice, but it should come out after that.
