I think some have found that if they raise the bottles above the printer for
an extended period of time gravity will allow the inks to flow out of the
cartridges. I think your best bet would be to put in in a box,. Barring that
I'd get the little plugs that fit into the openings of the cartridges (I
think MIS and nomorecarts sell them), take the carts out and put the whole
CIS assembly into a big Ziplock bag, if they make one that big. Oh, and
probably as an added safety put a little bulldog clip onto each CIS line to
keep the ink from flowing through the cartridges. Then put Epson carts into
the printer to keep the heads from drying out. This way if there is spillage
it's not into the printer.
