Removing Dansco Printing

I just removed the dates on a Kennedy half dollar page and I must say I'm happy how it came out. I used acetone and a q-tip lightly rubbed until the ink started to smear then used hand sanitizer with a new q-tip. A bit of the "gloss" was reduced but I think that is because I became impatience as I progressed onto the next date.
Good thing is you can practice/experiment on the printing that is on the left side of page and hidden when enclosed in album

2nd photo I tried to show the reduced "gloss"

edited: for me to remove all 20 dates took less than an hour ( I really wanted to start labeling and filling in the holes), so I think if you take your time you won't see such a reduction in "gloss". Plus later I'm thinking of trying some leather conditioner (like Lexul) to rehydrate the areas where the gloss was lost.

Good luck...............

Thanks Greasy Fingers. I wonder if isopropyl alcohol would be less harsh. I guess the key is to work in a small enough area and take my time.

I6609 - White tape would cover them but if I don't have a coin in the spot then I'll still have the date showing. I prefer the clear tape labels to try and blend in and not draw attention to it. Trying to be similar to the pre-printed dates on the page.

I can't say, I do know that it is pretty harsh on latex paint. Looking at your S B A Dollars 8180 link I'll say you sure do have enough Dansco Album pages to test on.

Seamonkey...it's been awhile, wondering how it turned out.

I had the same results as you Greasy. Loss a little bit of gloss. I don't think that is avoidable. I did try alcohol and acetone. The acetone worked faster, the alcohol took longer before the print started to soften up to remove.

It seems like a lot of work, but thank you for sharing.
