Re: [Digital BW] Epson R2400: Been over three months since last print

2007-01-26 by Linda Jacobs

I don't see how your printer would get damaged from non-use but you
might have some dried ink clogging the nozzles.

I would start by running a nozzle check then up to 3 cleanings if
necessary. If you are still clogged then let the printer sit for awhle
(at least a few hours) and run another nozzle check.

In the future, run a nozzle check every 4 or 5 days during periods of
non-use. Doesn't take much ink and well worth it to keep the printer
happy.

Good luck,

Linda
