Discovered this years ago during photo career. Will take sharpie off film (both sides), off photographic prints, AND lots of other stuff. No damage, just gone. AMAZING STUFF!!!!!!! I use it now to take sharpie and other marker stains of items in prep for Ebay, or what ever. Not an everyday item, but the only thing that works when you really need it.

This review is from: Photographic Solutions PEC-12, Photographic Emulsion Cleaner, 32 oz. Refill Bottle (Electronics)

I used this cleaner, per instructions, on some old Kodak Tri-X B&W film and it ruined them permanently. It left a sprinkling of white dots all over the emulsion. I followed the instructions to remove the dots, and it made it worse. I wrote the company about it twice, and got no reply. Luckily I stopped after a few negatives, but the ones it ruined were irreplaceable. I threw this crap out the next day.
