Copier toner ink on white shirt?

I managed to get yellow copier toner ink (or whatever it is) on my new white knit shirt.Can anyone suggest a good method for removing that stuff and not getting it set in the fabric.The shirt has a corporate logo embroidered on it so I don't want to bleach it and discolor the threads in the logo.

I just wondered if this type of ink or color as it be requires any special handling to get out and not set in.

Thanks

    If it's a dry powder type toner then first try using a vaccuum, canned air, and just shaking it out as much as possible. Then dry wipe as much as you can get off. After most of the dry stuff is out it shouldn't be a problem just washing it in the regular laundry as long as the bulk of it was taken out before hand. I've found that using a wet cloth to wipe it out only makes it worse.
