Default Screen Wash Question

Hello ...
yet another question from me...
Im running low on the screen wash that came with the package I purchased.....I work in the offset printing industry and can get a ink wash for next to nothing...i was wondering if this would degrade the emulsion or if I could use it...its a solvent based ink and blanket wash...
Thank you for any help

I'm guessing if it's made for offset printing, its going to be a pretty heavy solvent, and possibly lock your emulsion in.
Spring for some plastisol press-wash, it'll make your life a lot easier. I use Lawson PW-305, and it works good, but it's got a fairly powerful citrus smell. I haven't used any of the soy-based products, but they are supposed to be less "fragrent"..
