As daft as it sounds try rubbing over it with a non-permanent whiteboard marker. It's a well known trick when a permanent marker is used on a whiteboard, albeit I realise it's probably a different plastic.

Ipa al , might be a daft question but why is there marker pen on it in the first place?( please dont say you ran out of black paint !)
