    Are you going to make your own cleaning solution or try and find 
an alternate? 

    The pre- transport purge will suck out virtually all the ink in 
the system but you will lose a lot of ink when you reprime. If the 
problem is air the best thing to do is just let the printer sit idle 
and wait for the air to dissipate- usually 24 hours.
