Youshould be able to buy a capping station from your DTG Distributor, who also sells the proper inks for your system. In regards to flushing solution/cleaning solution the solutions sold by the ink resellers are generally manufactured by the ink companies with the proper chemical components to break down the inks - usually some sort of detergent agent, a surfactant, a whetting agent and purified/distilled water. If you are concerned about the cost of the commercial formulas, try cutting them with distilled water, this will be helpful if you are using it to flush lines, and is a way to quickly cut costs.

Anytime that you use a different brand of ink it is important to completely flush the ink delivery system before introducing the new inks. I might ask why you are asking about Fast Inks given their current inventory status:

U.S. Screen Print & Inkjet Technology | FastINK

To directly answer your question, any textile ink that works in one Epson based direct to garment printer should work in another Epson based direct to garment printer. The performance in terms of washability, color profiles and propensity to clog may vary.

Hope this helps!

Hi,
FastINK is available from any Fast T-Jet distributor -- we have stock in all colors.

This post might give you more information--it's all about the differences between inks.
Difference between Inks

Many DTG owners (and owners of other brands, for that matter) use different brands of ink. Just make sure that any ink you want to switch to is water-based and formulated especially for garment-printing Epson printers. Don't forget to ask around on the forums for advice and reviews before using other inks!
