Storing an Epson printer

2014-07-28 by Globe Trotteur

I am sure this question may have been asked quite a few times.
I just got an Epson r2400 that I am going to keep as a spare to replace my 2200 in vase it dies.
I am planning on inserting some refillable cartridges inside and filling them with cleaning fluid.
If I do a few head cleans with the product inside, would the printer be good when I start it again a few months later? I am concerned that the pads being full of ink may clog the printer or should I move the heads away from the pads.
I will also be putting the printer in a closed bag to remove the air.
If that is a feasible idea, what kind of fluid should I put in the cartridges?
thanks.
Pierre
