Getting rid of marker on screen

I got this huge 16x9 screen for a great deal. The only draw back is there is a blue mark on the bottom where someone drew on it.

Is there any way to get rid of this? Like maybe a "projector marker" where I can draw over it?

if its a vinyl based screen, you can first try wd40 as it dissolves a lot of "stuff", make sure you use lots of water there after to clean off the residue. In addition, you could also try acetone IF the screen is vinyl... just dabbing on a little.

If it doesn't come out. You can always mask the image down the way they do at the factory and repaint some new borders. Raise the bottom masking to a higher position so that it covers up the blue marker.

I have scrubbed vinyl screens with Spray nine, fantastic, and bleach using a scrub brush. The wine stain that had been covered with white out was gone in the end and the screen looked perfect. This was a matte white vinyl screen, no coatings or anything.
I have used hydrogen peroxide and denatured alcohol on my Dalite HP screen with no ill effect (no scrub brush just careful wiping wit a cloth) .
If you got the screen cheap, I would get the ink off and not worry to much as you will never be happy till it is gone.

I think you are pretty well "toast"... if I read the "spec" right... it is a glass bead based screen which likely means some "coatings" which are going to be "tender" to any "touching".

As suggested, one of your "bets" might be to "downsize" the screen by enlarging the borders with black paint which then will cover the marks.

Call the manafacture for example older Dalite screens you can't use spray nine on it will desolve the glue used to hold the glass beads on the newer ones this is how they recomend cleaning them since they changed the glue. Each screen is unique. Also be very aware of smearing rub from teh middle out in case you need to down size the screen.
