I don't know if it fits the bill but I would think the clear ink base that
both MIS and Mediastreet sell (I don't know what MIS calls theirs, but
Mediastreet's is Jet Jrano) would be the safest thing.

I also wonder how many of our clogs are really due more to air blocks than
inks blocks. It's hard to know because they can take similar cures. IOW,
putting solvent on the pad and letting it sit gives the air time to
dissipate, and cleaning cycles push air out. Anyway, you know more about
this than most of us so I'm really just asking.
