Digital BW, The Print

i usually wet the foam pad with several drops of windex and park the head.
i can leave it that way for a week or so with no problems in my 1160 with
CFS and pizography inks.

I used to do what you say with sucess with both PiezoBW and MIS VM 
inksets with carts or CIS/1160. These days I take the extreme step of 
turning my 1280 on twice a day. I print the MIS purge6 pattern once on 
plain paper in draft mode, followed by a nozzle check. This gets fresh 
ink flowing into the printhead and uses up only a modest amount of ink 
and time. About 1 out of every ten times with carts, I have to do one 
or two cleaning cycles, and this is what drains the carts down.

Waiting more than 12 hours increases likelyhood of a clog with me. I'm 
sure I'm an extreme case. I'm pretty much the Klog King.
