I thought Fedron was the go-to solvent for the printing / ink industry?
It's also used to clean rubber parts, iirc.
Interesting point about the single-side vs. trad. cloth ribbons. I'm using
a cheap-o replacement in my Panasonic "Quiet" Color KXT 24-pin (NLQ). I
don't recall what ribbon was in it when it arrived, other than it was
totally shot. I only use black ribbons, the color are no use to me - and
terribly expensive.
It's an excellent printer, as nice as any I have ever used or owned, and
very compatible with the popular C-64 interfaces. Are we really cruisin'
for a brusin' using cheap ribbons in this machine? Fwiw, it sees little,
but occasional use - not sure if that's good or bad! ;-)

Sanders 12/7 and 700 printheads are quite easy to take apart (but
keep the
pin/armature assemblies in order).
Other than those, I wouldn't strip any of them!
Maybe clean the face with propan-2-ol and then soak that end in the
same solvent to
remove any residual ink..
Old Epson fx-80 ?
