I was not able to find the solvent for those Sharpies.

Only these:

Product Name: Sharpie Fine Point Marker,
Sharpie Ultra Fine Point Marker, Sharpie Extra Fine Marker,
Sharpie Chisel Tip Marker,
Sharpie Twin Tip Marker, Super Sharpie Marker,
Super Sharpie Twin Tip Marker, Sharpie Mini Fine Point Marker,
Sharpie Micro Marker, Sharpie Grip Marker, Sharpie Retractable Fine Point Marker,
Sharpie Magnum Marker, Sharpie King Size Marker, Sharpie Liquid Tip Marker.

Solvent Mixture:
Butanol (71-36-3),
Propanol (71-23-8),
Diacetone Alcohol (123-42-2),
Ethanol (64-17-5)

======================

Product Name:
Sharpie Professional Marker,
Sharpie Industrial Marker,
Sharpie CD Marker.

Solvent Mixture:
Butanol (71-36-3),
Propanol (71-23-8),
Diacetone Alcohol (123-42-2),
Ethanol (64-17-5)

Neither of those mixes is especially aggressive on plastic. I was hoping to see some Xylene in it. When I was trying to get ink to stick to plastic D&D dice, Xylene was the magic ingredient.

Toxic, though.

From the ads, it sounds like "Extreme" Sharpies mainly add some UV resistance against fading.
