For on press wash we've used Franmar's Color Change for probably 10yrs now.  Soy based.  You do need to "rinse" it with a damp rag as it's oily.  Very effective, goes a long way and doesn't weaken the emulsion.

CCI has an Enviro Line that is Soy and Citrus Based:

Kiwo also has a stronger concentrated system that is diluted with water that works great:

Good luck!

We like ICC Chemical Spray and Wipe stuff, one is slowish drying, and a second that is must faster, depending on what you need.

Gotta say, this stuff is great for on press ink changes, or even if you need to rack screens for a few days or what ever and want to clean the ink out of the image area. Dries really fast, leaves no oily residue, doesn't stink. I just put a spray nozzle from a Zep spray bottle on it, set it for mist and just a tiny squirt does wonders and it's specially formulated to be as eco as you can get with plastisol. I was just told yesterday the new formula will be stronger, smell even better and be a nice little reduction in pricing.
