    Hi Guys,
    I’m new to this digital printing lark!

    Bought a Versacamm SP-300 a couple of months ago and have had mostly good results from it.

    I am recently getting the odd blemish in some prints that looks like a slight drip and so I would like to do a full clean on the machine as shown in one of the other forums.

    Question is where can I buy the cleaning fluid and swabs? Is any fluid better than others?

    Cheers in advance.

    Dave.

    For everything is made of metal and has ink stains on it, you can use the solvent from the ink you use. For plastic you can use o solution made with liquid soap. Refresh and clean well with distilled water. You can also use alcohol for some parts (encoder strip for e.g.).
    Hope this helps!
    Good luck in the future!

    Didn’t think you should use any thing on the encoder strip ! other than a cloth for risk of damage. 🙁
