You're quite correct. I've been a printer for over 20 years and have used  
some pretty drastic materials. To me, toxicity is a realative thing. One 
other thing that you and others might like to take note of is that all  
solvents can be absorbed through the skin.  
A 50/50 mix of solvent (varsol or kerosene) and 10W motor oil makes about 
the best (and most economical) chain cleaner/lube going. After cleaning a 
chain, the dirt will settle out and you can pour off and reuse the cleaner 
several times.
