Why TapeTech
Which cleaning fluid should you use?
Different cleaning tasks need different fluids. TapeTech’s cleaning fluid range helps you cover both normal maintenance and more demanding troubleshooting work without overcomplicating your workflow.

Maintenance Fluid for everyday care — ideal for routine cleaning and capping care, including daily wipe-down and capping station maintenance where a gentler, slower-evaporating fluid is preferred.
-
Troubleshooting Fluid for heavier cleaning — designed for stubborn ink removal and deep cleaning when routine maintenance fluid is not enough.
-
Keep both in your maintenance kit — one supports ongoing care, while the other helps when tougher cleaning issues appear.
