Is that a recommended procedure from Canon? It sounds to me as though 
that would cause the ink to dry and wreck the head???

You could buy an extra one and keep it loaded with color carts and 
have one loaded with B&W inkset. Just take one out put in the other 
one --- no purging etc. Head alignment is a simple software routine 
just like the Epson alignment test you can run ( at least on my small 
Epson 880's it's simple)
