Get the humidity above 55% and keep it there.  Apart from the 
heads drying in you will have more problems like static 
electricity, dust etc that will cause problems with your 
printers.  If you can't get the room humid do it with a nearby 
humidifier,
Use a capping station adjustment to get a good fit of the heads 
on the capping station, the pumps then will create enough vacuum 
to get the nozzles open when cleaning and drying in is reduced.
