Removing ink after burning
I am doing some complicated photo burning and transfer the image using acetone or heat (not as much detail). I get a great picture but after burning there is still some visible black ink- does anyone have suggestions for getting rid of the ink? I have tried baking soda, more acetone, various stain removers and nothing seems to work.

I tried peroxide and it doesn't remove the ink either. Have you ever tried anything else?

Has anyone ever sealed the wood prior to burning and prior to ink transfer? I wonder if sealing the wood first would keep the ink more superficial and thus allow an easier removal.

Maybe a different ink? Back in my fountain pen days, some inks were permanently permanent, but others could be faded or ‘deleted’

What sort of 'ink'? Laser printer? Ink jet?
Maybe isopropyl alcohol (IPA) - should dissolve ink jet ink. Laser toner is (usually) in a plastic binder which is fused to the paper.
Not sure what would dissolve that.

I am using a laser printer and then transferring the pattern using acetone. I agree, Im not sure anything will dissolve it. The IPA does not. I tried.

I'll preface this suggestion by saying I haven't tried this, just thinking in print.....
Is the burn deep enough to permit removing a micro-thin layer of wood and the print with a very gentle sanding with a fine emery paper after you finish the art work?
