Cleaning your printer

[Commando]

I am starting to run low on the swabs(on the head, screens, wiper etc) to clean my mimaki printer with.
I usually order them from Mimaki and they are so freakin EXPENSIVE!
I thought about ordering some cheaper ones from the internet but the quality leaves doubts.. You know, like leaving debris or something. Like not using a Q-TIP from walmart lol
Does anyone use anything cheaper?
Should I just stick to the good stuff to save money in the long run?

I always use cheapest one on the internet. No problem at all. They are just for one time use . Only make sure it is not disintergated under solvent solution.
