A solvent flushing apparatus comprises a plate that has an opening formed therein. The solvent flushing plate may be positioned relative to a fluid jet device so that the opening in the plate coincides with jet orifices of the jet device. The solvent flushing apparatus further comprises a conduit that is adapted to convey fluid therein. The conduit extends from proximate a first external side of the plate or body, and into the plate toward a second external side that is opposite the first external side. The conduit terminates at a conduit orifice that is spaced apart from the first external surface, faces the opening formed in the plate, and is directed toward, i.e., faces, at least in part, the orifices of the fluid jet device. A solvent fluid may be transported through the conduit and ejected from the orifice toward the plurality of orifices of the fluid jet device.
