Long term storage of Epson R220
I have a R220 that works fine [still has ink in the cartridges] but will be
unused for at least 6 months. What is the "best" way to store this so the head "might" remain useable? Thanks. -- Remove -NOSPAM- to contact me.

Expel as much air as possible and tie bag with a twist tie. Store in a dark cool place. Additionally, if you can, get a hold of or make cleaning cartridges and replace regular cartridges with them. Run several cleaning cycles after installing the cartridges to remove as much ink as possible from the head with the head cleaning fluid. A lot of this is conditional to the climate you live. The more humid the climate the better your Epson will fair. -- Jan Alter

Thanks. I have seen these types of R series printers go unused for that long without a problem. But nothing is a sure thing in this regard.
