Sealing carts

2004-07-10 by andy-j1959@mchsi.com

Now that I have a B&W set up I like with the UT7 carts, I still find 
that I want to do a little color.  Any clever tricks for sealing up 
carts when they are out of the printer?  I expect that for each 
changeover, the carts may be sitting around for a couple weeks.  I 
have generally wrapped them tightly in plastic wrap, which is kind 
of annoying.  I don't have any good measure on how much ink I am 
losing to evaporation (and, thus, how much more intense the 
remaining ink is getting).

I think the carts seal themselves OK most of the time.  I just use tape and
set them on several thicknesses of paper towels to deal with any leaks.  I
dislike the little rivets MIS sells to seal the carts.  I think they push
more air into the system.

When I visited MIS at the beginning of June, they showed off what appeared
to be actual poppet carts -- like Epson's.  I don't know when if ever
they'll have them in production, but that technology is one of the real
advantages Epson has had.  They self-seal and re-start better.
