How do Exx-Print Fluids differ in solvency?
Solvency is directly related to aromatic and cycloparaffin content. Aromatics tend to provide increased solvency.  Likewise, cycloparaffins increase solvency relative to normal paraffins and isoparaffins.

How do Exx-Print Fluids differ in odor?
Aromatic and sulfur content affect the odor of all hydrocarbon fluids.  Exx-Print Fluids tend to be low in sulfur content and therefore have low odor. As the aromatics content increases, the odor of the fluid will also increase.
