Most shops use something called "Stoddard solvent", which is closely related to dry-cleaning solvent. Stoddard solvent is used to clean most oily parts. It's also good to have a stiff brush that can be used to break loose the stubborn stuff.

How to clean printer cartridge manually?
If you're trying to clean your printhead, use a foam swab dipped in a solvent that will dissolve the ink you're working with. Regular desktop inkjet ink print heads can be cleaned with rubbing alcohol. (Eco-solvent heads need to be cleaned with flush solution, and full-solvent heads need to be cleaned with cyclohexanone...but unless the printer you have cost more than a new car, you don't have to worry about those.) You dip the swab in the cleaning solvent, scrape it against the side of the container until you get almost all of it out, then gently clean the head with a front-to-back motion. Put the cartridge back in the printer and run a cleaning cycle to reprime it.

What you need is a couple clean rags...some spray solvent...a putty knife and your new gasket.

Now your surfaces are ready for the new gasket. Place the gasket on the head and carefully place the valve cover back on the head.
