Understanding the complexity of removing ink is knowing what are the components of ink. Inks composition is a combination of dyes, and or pigments, structured with solvents and a resin which is a binder to make the color stick to whatever it touches. Anything with dye is very difficult to remove cause dye is by design created to change the color of anything it touches. 

So how can you get ink out of your carpet?  Start by using a clean towel or cloth. Start from the outside of the ink and gently blot. The technique is to try to slowly absorb the ink as not to spread and make it worse. Then using a mixture of one part vinegar and 2 parts water. Mix that in a spray bottle and gently spray on the stain and allow dwell time of 10 minutes. Then take another clean towel and absorb the solution and the stain. You can repeat the process until the ink is removed. There are may types of ink so this may not work for every ink spill.
