What cuts archival inks/pigments?

Hi folks, I was wondering what solvents work on waterproof archetypal inks and pigments? I am making some "alternative" type prints. It involves transferring the image from an inkjet printed image onto different types of material, cloth, archival papers etc. It works well however I am limited to non archival prints at the moment and only need water. I wish to do these prints rather largeish which will require a really wide printer. The prints will be 30 something inches wide and up to 10 feet long (Panoramas). I need to get a solvent that will cut the types of inks that these printers use. I would appreciate any input about solvents for these types of inks or pigments. Will alcohol work? (I was going to say that I'll use Tequila on a sunrise shot but I decided not to) Thanks loads folks. Jules
