Digital BW, The Print

I own a Epson 2200 which has been retrofitted with a Septone B&W Continuous
Ink System. I am moving and need to pack this up.

Does anyone have any experience with how best to do this.  I guess I am most
worried about the ink siphoning out once it is disconnected, and any
residual ink drying and clogging the works during the period (~1 month)
between disconnect and reconnect.

thanks much
regards
Jack

MIS includes small aluminum rivets (1/8 inch dia X about 1/2 inch
long, I think) as plugs for Epson carts with their CFS, you should be
able to buy similar parts in a hardware store. Use them to plug each
cart, seal the reserviors with somthing (there's a clay-like adhesive
called "Tacky-"something that will adhere to the vent hole and help
prevent a spill). Finally, put a set of non-CFS carts in the printer
and you should be all set.

You might want to run the printer with the non-CFS carts until you get
a good nozzle check to make sure the ink supply to the heads is
continuous with the cart volume to keep it from drying out.

I agree with Frank except that I would use a set of cleaning carts 
rather than a set of ink carts.
