Absolute insane results removing sharpie from cartridge label

Complete shock at this. Bought this lot a kid marked up with HEAL, and had heard mixed success from people using dry erase marker to lift sharpie on labels and also partial success using N-Heptane and thought “why not both?”

I used some red dry erase markers I got on amazon, smeared each sharpie letter around with it for a bit, erased, then wiped it with a swap with heptane.

I am flabbergasted how well it worked, so there’s a PSA for anyone with this issue.

I’ve done this at work to remove sharpie from a dry erase board and people in the office think I’m a wizard.
