It is mostly cotton. It is a US Postal uniform shirt if this helps.
It is a major ink stain.

it depends on the type of ink that it is , you could try rubbing alcohol, nail polish remover , here is a link .

Take a small bath. Empty into it a bottle of ink. Immerse your blouse and hold it soaking quarter-hour. Dry it out. You might have camouflaged the stain. OR Best is to make use of cleaning soap and water. Ink does now not reason everlasting stains. Wash time and again. The ink will get rid of. As a final inn: Try bleaching powder; Calcium oxi chloride - Caocl2. It bleaches the ink; however watch out it is going to even bleach the color of the blouse.

Rubbing alcohol. Just dab a little on it and it will come out even before you wash it. I worked at a department store and got black ink on a white shirt and my customer told me about it. Works like a charm. Good luck!

Its not going to be easy. Alcohol or hairspray will get ink out, but a major or large stain is going to spread before it comes out. I'd toss it.

get some glycerin. you can buy it in liquid or you can get a thing of glycerin suppositories. i like the suppositories because you can rub it right in to the stain. let that sit for a half an hour then spray with a combination solvent (like shout or spray and wash) then launder as usual. hope this helps!

I've heard lemon juice and a soft toothbrush, then soak. Haven't tried it, so don't know for sure.
