Question Spot on rear seat

My wife drives an 04 C240 Wagon. One day while removing groceries from the rear seat, she noticed that due to the weight of whatever was in the bag, the print from one of the plastic grocery bags left an ink impression on the rear seat. It's nothing big or that noticeable, but she knows it's there and it bothers her. Can someone make a recommendations as to how I can remove the mark? The seat color is Ash.

Thanks

Ink stains
Some ballpoint ink stains can be sponged clean using 303TM Cleaner & Spot Remover. If this doesn't completely remove the stain, the other alternative is to use Isopropyl alcohol (or a hairspray in an emergency) Townsend Leather™ Ink & Stain Remover will removes ink, lipstick, heel scuffs and other difficult stains from finished leather

I would use some silly putty to lift the image rather than dissolve it.
