How to clean my printer on the outside

[lillhannus]

Hi,
My Mutoh is looking really dirty. Ink splatter is on all the covers and I´d like to clean it to make it look somewhat representable.

Any tips and tricks on how to remove dried ink from plastic and metal without melting it?

all I can say is NOT to use eco solvent. I tried to remove a small splatter (since my printer was nearly new at the time) and I kinda melted the cover. It only took a few seconds, and I rinsed the solvent off right away... now I have a bleached out spot with a little chemical burn. I was thinking about wrapping the plastic parts of mine.

Clean the metal parts with the solvent cleaner and then finish with alcohol. For everything else, alcohol and elbow grease.
