Spray hairspray on it and rinse with cold water, repeat until stain is gone.
Try spraying it with hairspray before washing.
The best way to remove ink stains is hairspray, believe it or not! Just spray hairspray on the stain, but do not allow it to dry. If it is on clothing, drop it in the washing machine. If it is on something like furniture, follow the hairspray with a wet paper towel or baby wipe. Hairspray will usually remove all of an inkstain, but even if it doesn't get it all, it'll still give the best results.
Biz Boil will get out anything (I suppose almost anything.. but I haven't seen what that would be yet)
Put a 1/2 cup Biz (found in the same place as bleach alternatives) in a large bucket (5 gal is ideal) - add in 2 gallons of boiling water. Stir to disapate the Biz into the boiling water. Add pants, let sit until water cools.
Remove pants & look to see if stain is gone
If not - repeat by simply adding some more boiling water & then let sit overnight
If so, toss in washing machine with other items of simlar color & wash temp... proceed as normal
and for future reference. either keep a bar of Fel Naptha Soap on hand or buy some Naptha LIghter fluid to apply to ink stains as soon as you see them
As for me.. I just keep a bar of Fels Naptha & a bar of Octagon along with Borax, vingar, baking soda, OxyClean, and Biz --- I have yet to see a stain (even stubborn set-in stains) that I can't get out
