As described in an earlier post (1160 disaster...) I was about to install my new CIS quad carts when disaster struck and my printer is inoperable with ink light on and paper & power lights flashing. I now have the 2 CIS carts, with the tubes attached, filled with inkset sitting and waiting. It's goiung to be sometime for the printer to be shipped, repaired and returned to me before I can install the carts I dont want to risk the carts so what is the best thing to do with them ? Leave them ? Tape/seal the tube ends? Try & syphon the ink back into the bottles and wash the carts? Or what do you suggest ? They've already been standing for 2 days while I tried to sort the printer out. thanks, frankg
