Cleaning UV ink off print table

I have a Mimaki JFX200 flatbed printer. The table itself has some ink buildup on it. Im trying to get it clean. Ive used alcohal, screen wash, and windex to try and cut the ink but nothing seems to work. Does anyone have any ideas of anything that they have found that works good?

Thank you.

UV ink removal from bed

If its a small area - I usually just take a utility blade at a low angle and scrape it off with vacuum in reverse so its blowing out and won't suck the ink down into the air ports.
You can also use graffiti remover from Lowe's.
Its called Motsenbocker's Lift Off 4 Remover for Spray Paint Graffiti (see attached image)
Spray it on and wait til ink bubbles up like stripping paint and then just wipe off.
Test on your bed first to make sure it doesn't react with any coating that may be on the bed first.

I use lacquer thinner to clean ink drips off of my printers, and right after I wipe it with lacquer thinner I go back over it with alcohol to prevent
the lacquer thinner harming the paint on the printer's body.. works great...

With my metal print bed, I do like Gino said, use a razor scraper and fine sandpaper.
