Default Inkjet ink...what cleans it off??

The works Xeros docuprint blocked up it's waste ink tank and started over-flowing and leaving blobs on the printouts/rollers etc.

So, a clean up is required....now the ink cartridges say its "water proof" ink Not good.

Stripped it down, removed the ink tank, and put it in the solvent degreaser tank...no luck, tried turps, nope, tried white spirits, tried some other natsy smelling stuff...nope!

Tried cellulose thinner...not really that good either! Made more succes of melting the ink tank that removing the ink! I used the celly and got it relatively cleaned out. But obviously I've got it everywhere else.

So, for future reference...and to get get it off my hands...what is the best stuff to remove it with?
