BCH MaxStrength™ RED Professional Cleaning Solution for Water-Based Inks: Dye, Pigment, Sublimation, DTF - NOT FOR SOLVENT UV INK
$15.99 $19.99
For Water-Based Inks: Dye, Pigment, Sublimation & Moderate DTF Clogs
NOT FOR SOLVENT, ECO-SOLVENT, OR UV INKS
BCH MaxStrength™ RED is our strongest water-based printhead cleaning solution for restoring clogged, banding, or dried nozzles. This advanced formula works from the inside of the printhead, penetrating internal ink channels, nozzle plates, dampers, and capping components.
Compatible with printers using water-based inks:
Epson, Canon, HP, Brother, wide-format, desktop, and converted DTF systems.
⭐ DTF-Capable (Normal & Medium Clogs)
This solution safely dissolves:
DTF pigment buildup
Light to medium resin deposits
Dried dye and pigment ink
Sublimation sediment
Nozzle-plate surface clogs
Internal channel restrictions
For normal and medium DTF clogs, MaxStrength™ RED is highly effective on its own.
🚀 NOT For Heavy or Caked DTF Clogs When Used Alone
DTF ink can harden into caked resin, forming rubbery, crusted, or plastic-like deposits-especially after long idle periods or heat exposure.
For these heavy, caked DTF blockages, use:➡️ BCH MaxStrength™ RED (this product) + BCH DTF Booster (1:1 mix)
This creates a high-power cleaner specifically designed for severe, hardened DTF contamination.
⚠️ FOR PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY
This is an industrial-strength cleaning solution.
If you have never unclogged a printhead before, do not buy this product.
No instructions are included because this product is intended for trained users who already know safe printhead cleaning procedures.
If MaxStrength™ RED cannot restore a printhead, the printhead is likely beyond recovery.
For routine maintenance, light clogs, or economic use, choose our GREEN or CLEAR cleaners instead.
🛠 How to Use
1) Deliver the solution into the printhead
A) Cartridge Delivery (recommended)
Fill an empty refillable cartridge with MaxStrength™ RED
Install the cartridge and run the printer’s built-in cleaning cycle
This draws the solution through the internal ink channels and into the nozzles
B) Flushing Tool (direct injection into ink ports)
Use a syringe + tubing flushing kit
Gently push MaxStrength™ RED into each ink inlet port on the printhead
This method targets internal clogging and dried channels
C) Spot Treatment on the Nozzle Plate (DTF users)
Place 1–2 ml of MaxStrength™ RED in a shallow tray or small dish
Rest the printhead nozzle-plate-down so only the metal plate touches the liquid
This softens surface clogs, crusted DTF residue, and dried pigment
Do NOT submerge the entire printhead
2) Let it rest
Allow the solution to sit inside the printhead for 12 hours.
3) Resume printing
Refill the printer with ink and run 3-5 printhead cleanings.
Repeat if necessary.
💥 For Heavy/Caked DTF Clogs (Use With Booster Only)
Heavy-DTF Procedure
Mix: 1 part DTF Booster + 1 part MaxStrength™ RED
Apply using ANY of the three methods above: Cartridge, Flushing tool, Nozzle-plate spot soak
Let sit 2-6 hours
Flush with distilled water
Run cleaning cycles with ink
Do not leave the red cleaning solution at 100% strength in a printhead for more than 24 hours
If diluted 50/50 with ink or distilled water, it may remain up to 48 hours
Never leave any cleaner inside a printhead for multiple days
Do not heat above 95°F (35°C)
Always flush with distilled water after deep soaks
Keep capped when not in use

[C2] 3FT 1.8MM ID 8-Strand Solvent Ink Tubing for Color & White DTF Tube Large Format Printer CIS
I purchased this product and messed it up first time. I somehow got superglue onto the main circuit board on the colour cartridge and for some reason (not sure how) I messed up the black one too. I repurchased the product (x2). I tried again with the colour one first (which is meant to be the most difficult). I was careful to wrap the circuit board and print head in cling film and taped it down on top. I was careful with the superglue and let it dry upside down for 24 hours so that if the glue leaked anywhere it wouldn't go towards the circuit board. It works great. I now have a functioning refillable colour cartridge. I am glad I got the hardest one out of the way first. I will shortly try the black one. But fantastic that overall, I know this product will save me a fortune in printing now. The colour one is obviously the hardest and it works! Good job guys. (I am from the UK which is why we spell colour with a u lol).

Yes, you can easily make your own with a washed out water bottle but these come ready to go and are a better quality plastic. I won’t be using mine as a waste tank since I have a my CISS but will be using the bottle for my maintenance and cleaning solutions.
