I had always heard to put a non-greasy hand lotion on your hands before the service. I supposedly kept the ink from going into your skin and washed off easily afterwards. I never tried it. After this many years, my hands clean would probably just scare me.
Ink doesn't get on your skin, it gets in your skin. Stuff soaks in. If you want to remove the marks you're going to have to get rid of the skin.
Who doesn't like having "battle scars" for a few days? It's evidence that you were locked in hand-to-carriage combat and prevailed. Or at least survived.
WD40 works good for removing stains on hands, just remember to use hand lotion after cleaning it off.
Ricoh packs an individually wrapped Scrubs Hand Sanitizing Wipe in the service tech cleaning kits. I have used them on duplicator ink. Do a reasonable job. Peanut butter is also good for removing oil based stains from skin and other surfaces. Unlike WD40 does not require lotion afterwards.

Best "fix" for you problem are good quality form fitting latex or nitrile gloves..Keeps your hands clean and as a bonus provides a better finger grip.

Pebkac has a good point, it soaks into your skin. Last time I used warm water and soap, but did it until my hands were all wrinkly. 15 minutes at the sink got it faded to what usually takes a day or two.
