Steve,
If you use acetone, Tom Whites solution(95% alcohol) or any Delmar varnish, Zippo (naptha), or any other concoction you can come up with, you will be getting far worse health hazard results compared to your examples of dangers for alcohol or paint.
Not sure what type of kook you are??
Denatured alcohol is mostly ethanol (with some methanol to poison it so you won't drink it thanks to our Gov.). If you have wine, beer or you are poisoning yourself according to your ideas. (and in fact you are)..
You are a bit over the top suggesting that any of the combinations given are more harmful than anything that is being used now.
I have many degrees in biochemistry, Organic, diseases Human and Animal, and having worked for the National Institute of Health and being a physician with 30 years in practice.
I have taken and used more chemistry than you have even knew exsisted..
You are looking at a methanol sheet ( denatured is mostly ethanol)and paint Sheet cautions Dont drink it...
What is your background ???
Pull up the data on Acetone...

Isopropal:

All much worse than paint or booze (if you use grain ((Ethanol)).
And for that matter the dangers of almost everything you use in your house, car, garage, shop or your liquor cabinet…
What do you use for transfers that are "safe" to you?
Why don't you show us the Safe way???
If you don’t like the suggestions don’t use them. But dont throw stones when you live in a glass house.
There are people that use these solutions to make a living.
When Epson stopped making there product used with Tom Whites solution (alcohol 95%) people were trying to get a good alternative.
So another method had to be found for transfers of high detail from a computer printer and capable to transfer to metal.
Smoke pulls are a hazard too, you could burn down your house!!!
P.S. Stay away from your jewelry chemicals, Polishes, and sharp objects and be sure to use proper ventilation when transferring, Respirators when polishing metal, and when grinding gravers have outside air pumped into a full face mask (snorkel type) so as not to breath in the diamond, Hss, carbide dust..
All of which are 10X worse than the suggested solutions to try.
Wake up.
