re: [Digital BW] Re: Chemistry of Windex, Fantastik, 70%Alcohol

2002-03-07 by John Thompson

Denatured ethanol (AKA: denatured alcohol) was / is the choice of printhead manufacturers / remanufacturers. When they recieve alleged "defective" heads due to clogging etc, they use this to "cleanse" the jets, typically by total immersion into an ultrasonic bath of denatured ethanol cut with purified water 40/60. (if memory serves). I have a pdf of a current MSDS sheet on denatured ethanol for anyone's review,  just request it off-line. 
Glad to help, - JT
