I actually tried, in Dr. Freds order, those same products. My 5th try was a white marble/limestone powder with straight clorox bleach. I mixed it, apllied it and did not cover. I am under a time problem. We have to do a container of pre-cut slabs that some idiot decided to use some blue ink from a stamp pad, on most of the stone. They were stamping the a frames and all the ink bled on the stone. Uncovered most of the spots came off in about 2 hours. 
Thanks

its going to depend on the type of ink..you may have to try several different solvents. I would try them in this order
 
1. Alcohol
2. MEK
3. Methylene Chloride
4. Benzene

Tony,

What did you use in the poultice? I have heard that rubbing alcohol works on ink. My kids took a black permanent marker to my mother's brand new leather couch one day.  I nearly drove myself to the looney farm trying to figure out how to clean it before she got home.  Well, she got home, looked at the kids, sighed and rolled her eyes, grabbed the rubbing alcohol and cleaned it all up without a problem.  That was leather though, I've never tried it on stone.  (We conditioned it later with lexol.)

I actually tried both and they did not work. But what did work is poultice with straight bleach
uncovered. Keep that in your memory bank.
Thanks.

I had success with Dr Hueston’s techniques of poultice and either acetone or Methalyne chloride
