Three solvents for removing ink from upholstery (or anything, for that matter):
1. Hairspray
A hundred years ago I was a grocery store clerk. Before scanners were installed we used ink to price stamp virtually everything in the store. My most vivid memories were tomato sauce; the tiny cans that at the time were priced $.28 one week, $.29 the next week, and then back to $.28 a can. Each price change required that we pull out each can, line them up on the floor or rolling table, spray with hairspray, and wipe off with a paper towel. Hairspray worked great. Not as great, though as scanners!
2. Windex
Haven't tried this. Needs to be verified.

2. Windex
I am quite often asked how well a particular fabric cleans-up. It's a great question for anyone that wants to keep their furniture looking like new, when it no longer is. It was in that context that a customer told me recently of a first-hand experience with ink and upholstery:
An ink pen had leaked on the arm of her sofa, leaving a round-ish blob 2-3" around. She thought she'd have to replace the sofa, but a friend told her to try Windex (a product of SC Johnson Co.). She tried it, and every trace of ink was removed.
