The way I was taught on this digital media stuff is to wipe it down and keep wiping it, til it dries. You don't wipe and let air dry, even for a moment. That wiping and letting air dry many times will leave streaks instead.
On the flatbed, most contaminants are just printed over with so many layers/passes and then dried with UV lamps, it doesn't do anything to harm it. ACM and Cor-X are a little different story, those we still have to wipe down a little bit.
Your new inks could also be a little less aggressive than your OEM inks were.
Most machines are built around the ink they are designed for.... and when you go around changing things to save money, it generally will cost you in some other area. Either lines become more brittle or different temps are needed or inks are less forgiving, but it just stands to reason...... all of these machines have patents out the whazoo and so do their inks, so when you change inks, you're changing recipes for your machine and things now work differently. And don't let any third party ink supplier tell you different. All you ever ask is, will it work ?? Yes. Is it identical ?? No. It can't be by law or they would be infringing on patents and open to lawsuits.
Clean the medias better and start a better maintenance program on your machine, cause you're gonna need it.
