Best/safest way to remove stickers from real ivory

Best/safest way to remove stickers from real ivory

I recently purchased this piano in fairly good shape besides a few cosmetic things. However, it came with note name stickers on the keys. I've been dying to remove the stickers, but I'm afraid of damaging the (real) ivory underneath. What's the best way to get the leftover adhesive off the keys? I was thinking something along the lines of an alcohol wipe, but I wanted to get some other opinions before trying anything. I'd appreciate some help with this!

Help with print quality

First two photos are of the print. Third photo is the original. I think Reddit scaled it down, but the actual file is approx. 51mp. Printer is a Canon ImagePrograf iPF6400. Paper is 13x19 Canon matte photo paper. Camera is Canon EOS 5DS.

I'm getting back into photo printing after being away from it for a while. I set everything up (what I thought was) correctly, and ended up with a horrendous print. It almost looks like I applied a fake "etching" filter or artificial sharpening in Photoshop or something. I would appreciate some help with troubleshooting this and getting the print to look "normal". Thank you so much!
