Cone makes a pinkish flush fluid that is the best I've ever used. I use it for putting printers in moth balls. It cleans out the system lines, heads, dampers, in an amazingly effective way. The only down side is it has that pink dye in it, which is excellent for checking nozzle condition but not so nice when you have to get it out of the light gray channels after the ink is put in. I have some of the MIS flush fluid one one printer and it is nice if you want to just have something in the system that is totally clear and easy to remove, but it doesn't do the thorough cleaning that the pink stuff does. I've also heard good things about the Image Specialist fluid but I haven't tried it yet. I am continually amazed at how well the original Windex cuts the bond of these pigments though. This week I knocked the top off a bottle of black pigment and got it all over the carpet. Man was I disgusted with myself. The only thing I could find that would remove it was that Windex. But even it took nearly a whole bottle.... john
