much like the way criminals wash checks, I have no idea how it is done, but I know that it easier to "wash" felt marker marks that ink. You will have to look up how it is done. I have a suggestion on a book that would teach you how to do it but, I would not only get in trouble on the AF Forums, but could possibly be jailed for passing on the info... (The only reason I know this stuff is because my brother took criminal Justice and told me what they use)
Good luck!
Please don't do anything illegal!

Whats franking?
The ink that gets stamped onto a stamp to "cancel" a stamp when its in transit?
Yup, thats right. Its called a franked stamp when it has been marked void.
