Digital BW, The Print

I shipped a 2200 from Florida to Oregon on the first of January with the 
inks left in it and then stored the printer in a box in the garage for about 
four months waiting for renovations to be finished. That wasn't how I had 
planned to do it, the movers just got to the printer before I did, but the 
printer worked fine when I plugged it back in four months later. Then again, 
I don't recall running more than a couple cleaning cycles in the several 
years I used the printer, certainly nothing like weekly, so maybe 2400s are 
different.

Subject: [Digital BW] Storing a printer


I need to store my printers (R2200, R2400) for six months or more and I
was wondering what the best method is. I live in an exceptionally dry
climate. Relative humidity can be 20% or lower quite regularly in the
winter. Unless I am printing regularly, my printers require at least
one and usually two cleaning cycles per week. I could take the
cartridges out, but I am worried about the ink left in the head. will
dry out and form a plug.

I was thinking of putting cleaning cartridges in, running a few flush
cycles and either leaving the cleaning cartridges in or taking them
out. I am unsure whether leaving the cleaning solution in for an
extended period of time would hurt the printer or not.

Thank you for your suggestions.
