How to get a newsprint stain off a wood table

[Adrian]

Hi,

I have a light pine table. My daughter was painting and put newspaper down
to cover the table. When we took the newspaper back up we found a patch
about 1"x1" where the newsprint had transferred onto the table. I have never
seen this before and do not know how to get it off. The black ink is
apparent in words and artwork from an ad in the paper. It is not raised and
so it cannot be scraped off. I am afraid to do anything that would damage
the wood.

If anyone has any idea about how to clean this I would really appreciate it.

Thanks

Rubbing alcohol should remove it. Do not use alcohol-based solvents
on any shellac finishes.

That solved the problem. Thanks!
