    Hi
    I am running short of Roland Cleaning Fluid for the ecosol inks. I just enquired about the price of 500ml of this from my Roland dealer, they quoted me $187 NZ dollars – (about 90 pounds for everyone else.)
    After I prise my jaw off the floor, where it has embedded itself teeth downwards, I would like to ask if anyone knows of any economic alternatives to this. That is worse than bottled water! :yikes:

    If you still have your cleaning cartridges, you can rip them open and use em up.
    As far as homebrew, there are a few mixes out there, but to get the ingredients wasn’t real cheap either(butyl carbitol is the main one I believe)

    Just found this, $175 aus for a Litre. Still not cheap but better than OEM. You might wanna check some more third party ink suppliers.

    Hi Simon,
    i fell over at the price last year and managed to find " ECO BIO FLUSH" which is made by a company called triangle, about a quarter of the price and does the same job. the website on the bottle is inxdigital.com

    cheers
