I looked briefly didn't see any at that site...
I was mainly looking for something I could go get quickly at walmart or something. I didn't wanna order from anajet cause for a thing of $6 lint free wipes costs $14 to ship, didn't make sense to me.

We get ours from ebay. We like to get the wipes and swabs mainly for our solvent printer but we use the swabs for the anajet too.

google "clean room supplies"
I work in a factory that uses lint free wipes and foam swabs. When I needed some, I just found a supplier for clean rooms. (we have those too)

Well worn well washed t-shirts as well.
There are no lint-free paper towels, back when they had the blue-plaid low-lint Bounty for Windows it still got lint and paper bits all over the place. Viva gets fluff all over the place. You generally won't notice on a regular window but have fun with paper bits all over your scanner.
Thank goodness for microfiber being affordable nowadays.

We do what CoorsDTG does as well. We soak the material in a little bit of printhead cleaning solution (red in color) and it does a great job breaking down all the gunk that builds up. It does the job.

You never want to be really aggressive on the nozzle part.. too much is at stake and it is very delicate. If you reuse microfiber, you have to be very careful about it picking up debris that can scratch the head or deform the nozzle openings.
T-shirts are "celulose" which is a lot more abrasive than the manmade mirofiber. Take that into account when reusing old t-shirts. If it works for some people that's fine... but you might as well use paper towels. It's not the softness of the weave is the non abrasivness of the fiber that counts.
Seriously...$15 worth of microfiber towels from Costco has lasted me a couple of years. Why try to save pennies of a part that will cost a thousand dollars..

I am afraid of the wipes possibly harming the printhead. Do you think these would work or can you recommend a better altnernative?

50 pack for 12 bucks just seems a tad bit expensive. I will say I plan on buying most of my supplies through them including image armour but I do feel like generic products like these are definitely out there via amazon as a cheaper alternative and these companies might have found them and just are buying them in bulk and making a huge mark up on them by splitting up the packs to sell.
