How to Remove Screen Print from Nylon Backpack?

Photo https://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/24137/75913/img_202001…

I've tried using nail polish remover (acetone) but it didn't work.
Bought it on ebay and the picture of the backpack did not have this logo on it.
Tempted to use a black sharpie.

  • It looks tiny. Just use a Nikko pen.

  • Mask out the rest of the backpack and use a (matt) black spray can

  • Bought it on ebay and the picture of the backpack did not have this logo on it.

    Send it back?

    • Paid with ebay voucher so refund is no good to me

  • +1

    I don't think it's ink, I think it's vinyl adhesive. Try something like adhesive remover. Alternatively, something lightly abrasive might also work - Jif or perhaps high number grit sandpaper.

    • …personally i reckon it looks like heat pressed graphics embedded straight into the material….no getting it out unless its thru wear & tear

    • Don't think it's adhesive. I've tried heat and it won't peel at all. I think it's nylo-print ink bonded to the fabric.

  • Ive heard of people successfully using this to remove logos on nylon, obviously test a small area first.

    cover it up with a few layers of sharpie or similar

    • Tried sharpie but it's not black enough

      • do it several times allowing it to dry in between applications and it should darken significantly…hopefully anyway
