How to Remove Bleed Stains from Your Coloring Pages with a Colorless Blender

If you’ve ever had marker bleed ruin the back of your colouring page, you are so not alone. I wanted to use a page for a window tutorial, but there was a dark ink stain bleeding through - and I really didn’t want to start over.

So I gave the colourless blender trick a try… and it actually worked!

Here’s exactly how I did it, what I used, and what to expect if you try it yourself.

• Grab Your Colourless Blender
  I used the chisel tip of my Ohuhu colourless blender so I could press down firmly and cover more area.

• Use Absorbent Paper Behind the Page
  I placed thick scrap paper behind the page to soak up the lifted ink. As you press, the colour transfers out of the paper and into the sheet underneath.

• Press, Don’t Rub
  Gently press the blender over the stained area, don’t rub, or you might smudge nearby linework. I noticed some smudging with the black ink, so try to avoid going over outlines if possible.

• Move the Backing Paper Often
  Keep shifting the scrap paper underneath to a clean spot, so you’re always absorbing fresh ink rather than re-depositing it.

• Let It Dry Fully
  After working the area, let it dry completely. The page might feel a little fuzzy or textured, especially if you’ve pressed hard, but most of the stain will be gone!

While not a perfect fix, this technique lifted most of the stain, and the page is definitely usable again. Just be cautious of ink smudging and possible texture changes.
