A Target bag was left on my counter and the ink from the bag transferred on to it. My counter tops are painted laminate sealed with Polycrylic. How do I get the ink off without completely destroying the counter?

Printing can easily lift off under dry conditions, much like laser print stuff from paper onto plastic. Use isopropyl alcohol, but carefully. Have 2 cloths handy plus a dry towel. One cloth is wet with water to deactivate excess alcohol. The other is used to apply the alcohol and wipe away the ink. Pour some alcohol onto the wiping rag and wipe lightly and quickly to remove some of the ink. Then immediately wipe with the wet cloth to dilute and deactivate the surface alcohol. After the water wash, use the towel to dry the countertop. You are trying to remove the ink with the alcohol without harming the Polyarylic surface. Repeat as needed. If you want, you could use a 70 percent alcohol.
