Just wondering if anyone has a trick for removing craft paper from ink. Got my Agent O print in and it appears that part of the craft paper transferred to the hand painted orange ink. Very minimal, but disturbing.

Any ideas?

how about moisten the back side of the craft paper w/ a damp sponge?

Would probably have to be more like a q-tip. Its quite small. Don't think it will reactivate the paint?

Try dabbing it with a kneadable eraser. Follow the directions on this page: http://forum.expressobeans.com/viewtopi ... t#p1693417. Its worked for me a number of times.

I'll give that a try. That was my other thought. Kneaded erasers seem to work on a lot of materials.
