That's very unfortunate! But the photographs are very delicate. To try to save it with some kind of chemicals . . . well I have never heard that you can save a photo like that. As I said . . .unfortunate. But that photo is lost, unless you have the negative somewhere to get another copy of it.

I would expect anything that removes spilled ink would also remove the printed ink from the papers.

Maybe try a print house, kinkos or a drycleaner.

Why dont you try to scan the photo to get a digital copy. this way you could get the ink spot our on Photoshop or Gimp?
Thats only going to work if you have another shot of the person and can use that to overlay the one with the ink spot...

Sorry to hear that happened......Very unfortunate.
