HELP: Any ideas how to remove ink from printed paper?

Through the magic of websearching, I found a thread on the old forum
('HELP: Any ideas how to remove ink from printed paper?'
(http://www.howtofixcomputers.com/bb/ftopic187795.html)) with a question
about how to remove ink from printed paper. The question was not
completely answered because the poster never gave a reason.

I would like to know how to remove ink from magazines. My reason is
that I would like to subscribe my classroom to a magazine, but do not
believe that they should be exposed to advertisements in schools. Silly
putty would take too long. Can someone please suggest an alternative?

As much as I can appreciate your sentiment, I know of no reasonable
system for removing offset inks from the paper which wouldn't involve
major solvents and it would not be controllable as you need it to be,
which would include removal on one side only.

Quite honestly, I think the only method to accomplish this would require
making color (or black and white, I suppose) photocopies which were made
with the ads covered with white paper when you make the copies.

Those articles in Hustler and Playboy are not really that academic
anyway.

Scan with OCR software, most have an option to reject images, either
all, or selected images.
Then either distribute over the school network, or reprint.
