... that the "ink" (and also the method of "printing" - and consequently the method or possibility of removing it) will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer (or, more precisely, from assembly house to assembly house)...

Exactly! What works with the one manufacturer doesn't work with the next.

Now, I assume, that you have already tried all possible and available thinners and solvents, including common benzine cleaner, ethanol/isopropanol, acethone, perchlorethylene, ether, chorophorm...

Yes, I have made some experiments. But I think the proper solvent is the one that does not only remove the paint, but the package material itself. That would be the right solvent to work for any sorts of painting, right?

PS. I assume you don't want to experiment with burning out the marking... ;-)

That would be the last option...
