Is it possible to get ink off the inside of your clothes dryer
This happened in the house I owned about 3 years ago. Here what I did and it worked fine. I used nail polish remover to get everything off of the inside dryer surfaces that I could. As soon as no more ink would come off on the rag I was using with the nail polish remover, I washed and dried a load of white rags to be sure that no ink would transfer. It did not. I continued to use the dryer normally from there on out and never again had a problem. There will still be stains inside the dryer - they will be considerably lighter than the ink color but they will be there forevermore.
An old boyfriend was the one who left the stupid pen in the clothing in the first place (not intentionally though), so I was not happy. LOL It all worked out okay. Good luck!
I'm an artist, so I've exploded more than my share of pens

It was actually quite pretty, if I had been in the mood to appreciate it. I hadn't emptied the dryer right away, so it had cooled off, and the paint seemed like it was on there to stay. The next load I had ready to put in was a bunch of rags I'd used for painting, so I figured I'd just throw them in and see what happened before I put in importat clothes. It was rather surreal later when I opened the dryer to check on things and as it stopped tumbling, all these free-floating paint drops fluttered down on top of the rags

So I remembered this when I inadvertently dried a Sharpie pen and found that the inside of my dryer now looked like it had been visited by an insane graffiti artist. I put in a bunch of rags and fired it up. I think that the heat helped the rags wear away the Sharpie juice--it didn't come off in blobs like the paint, it just disappeared

For getting pen and paint that is less than 24 hours old out of clothes, I use carpet cleaner, like Resolve, and baking soda. I make a paste and smear it on the spot. Then I take the edge of a spoon and use it to scrape the material hard, working the mixture deeply iinto the fabric. Then I let it set for a couple of hours or overnight. Most of the time once is enough, but a couple of times I've had to repeat the process to get the stain completely out. This also works with most grease, butter, oil, etc. The Resolve wouldn't cut it. I got some of that Goof Off stuff you can buy in the hardware store and dosed the spots liberally with it. I was surprised because it did eventually get all the oil totally out.
Oh yeah: The heat thing also seems to work on burned pots. My friend boiled a nice, copper-bottomed pot dry and was throwing it out 'cause she couldn't get it clean. I filled it up just past the burn-line with water and boiled it for about 1o minutes. Then, with heavy gloves, (and a heavy-duty metal scrubber), before it cooled, I was able to easily get the crud off of the pot she'd worked on for hours.
If you are referring to the dyes that discolor the inside of your clothes dryer. We bought a new front loading washer and dryer about 6 months ago. It was a MAJOR purchase for us and I just about flipped when after the first load of my husbands work jeans left the inside of our dryer stained blue. I wiped it out with a regular household cleaner like 409 or Fantastic (I have them both and I think I used 409)

Now, if you are talking about Ink Pen, use alcohol.
I would dampen a paper towel with a little water, put a little dab of dish soap on it and a couple of drops of bleach. Then wipe the ink spots inside the dryer. Then wipe it clean with another damp paper towel.
For colored clothes, it's more difficult. Amway makes a product called LOC and it has always been great for removing ball point ink stains from just about anything. I had ink on a white purse and the LOC took it all off.
