Storing Ink Cartridges

[Guest]

Hi!
I now have (2) printers, a C82 and a C64 and I won't ever use two at
a time, or even two in the same day.And most probably, two in the same
week or even month.

How do I store a printer AND its cartridges so that they don't dry out
while I'm using the other printer?

Thanks...

Mike

I have 3 printers, one epson and two Canons. Maybe I'm lucky, but have
never had a problem with not using them for periods up to 4 months.

In the Fridge

The printers or the cartridges? ;-)

I believe you cannot remove the cartridges from the printer
and store them in the fridge. The ink left in the print heads
will dry and harden to "concrete". In other words, a massive
clog.
