Is it a good or bad thing to leave an inkjet e.g. Epson 1280/1290
switched on all the time?

When I used to switch mine off in the evening, there was a cleaning cycle most
mornings on swtich on.
Now, I leave it on all the time and cleanning cycles are few and far between.
I drew my own conclusions.

I had very much the same experience with an Epson SC800.

In over three years, only one clogged nozzle situation.

Often, no cleaning cycles to start printing.

I started this by accident, having fully intended to "do the official
right thing" and turn the printer off before going to bed. B

ut I kept forgetting and it worked so well without being turned off that
I stopped crying when I did the "Bad" thing and left it on overnight or
overweek or overmonth.

I am a BAD BAD boy.

But my printer is real fine.
