I had a custy (a tenant) who spilt a full bottle of black fountain pen ink. It was huge. I inspected it first and told him there was no way to fix this and to replace the carpet. However he didn't have the money and pleaded with me to at least extract as much as possible, so that he could live with it for now, because as it was he was walking it through the house. What happened in this situation is that the ink split. When I did the job (2 days after initial inspection) the yellow in the ink had split and the yellow would not budge. Not to mention wick back was already an issue even before I left (which I had already told him before I started) I left him some white towels which covered the area to absorb as much wick back as possible.
Extraction is the only option here but really if it's as much ink as you say then really replacement is the only true option. What is currently their problem becomes your problem as soon as you touch it.
If its not that bad then by all means go for your life, but don't over promise is my suggestion.
