Digital BW, The Print

Dave,

  I have no direct experience with Jon Cone's inks in a long-shutdown
situation, but I can say that with Epson pigment inks in Epson
printers, it is worth my time to keep the workroom humidity adequate.
 That's not easy where I live!  I strive for a print-room humidity of
50% year-around.  It keeps the inks and paper stocks happy.

  I also make a point to not position a printer where sunlight through
a window strikes the machine causing it to heat up and dry out.

Enjoy your trip!
