Digital BW, The Print

Hi folks.
This should probably be addressed to Tyler, Ernst or Paul Rourk but
includes all. I will be leaving for as long as a couple of months soon
and have 2 printers I need to care for. The 1st, a 7000, still has dye
inks in it and I will be be pulling those and flushing the printer and
will leave it that way until I can load pigs into it for use.

The other is a 3000 with VM carts. I would rather not transport
prepare it if I can avoid it so am wondering if it would work to leave
it turned on but on a timer that switched power to it for 15-20
minutes a day.
I know that works with the smaller printers as I used the technique on
my old 1200s and it was fine. I don't know if it works in the same way
on the 3000 though.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Regards
Duane

Why not flush the lines on the 3000 too? Probably cost less ink, and 
less of a chance that a power spike can fry it (if you unplug it). 
Sounds like an great time to run cleaning fluid through it, so it's 
ready to print when you return. That's what I would do if it was mine.
