How do you get stuck-on photocopy residue off a leather binder?

Question

Have you ever had a leather binder and had to peel a photocopied document off of it, and when you do, it leaves residue of the print all over it?  I have a leather binder and it is now covered in the residue of a photocopied document that was stuck to it.  What is the most effective way to remove this residue without damaging the leather?  I tried rubbing alcohol, but no luck.

You can remove the toner with Krud Kutter Graffiti Remover. This product removes ink better than anything else I've ever used. It removed permanent magic marker for me...the marker fell right off like melted butter

Spray Krud Kutter onto a soft cloth and just wipe the photocopy residue right off.

You can buy Krud Kutter Graffiti Remover at Home Depot and most hardware stores. Aco Hardware usually carries it. You can also buy it over the Internet:

Make sure you use the Graffiti formula, not the Original. The Original formula doesn't work on ink.

I've also seen Amodex Ink and Stain Remover recommended on Yahoo Answers. That might work, but I have had better luck with the Krud Kutter.

Krud Kutter doesn't smell bad, it's non-toxic, and the bottle will last you forever.

Hope this helps.
