Don't place anything on the park pad! Anything that touches the head
will wick liquid out, and anything that overhangs the rubber seal will
cause it to dry out.
Maybe the heads will have to be flushed with a water/ammonia mixture
when you are done printing for the day. Even dried Future dissolves in
household ammonia, although I wouldn't guarantee it if it dried in the
heads.
