Digital BW, The Print

Peter,
Without carts in place, the Epson printhead will dry out. I don't know about a standard method 
for storage, but, if you liken clogs to getting the flu, I've found regular Epson carts to be a very 
effective vaccine. I've left my own 740s and 1160s for 3+ months and gotten good nozzle checks 
after one cleaning cycle; if I'd left them unused with quad blacks installed, I'd have had major 
problems. Somebody in the group recently suggested that regular Epson ink has a solvent 
that helps prevent clogs -- they sure behave as if they did.
