how long can filled CIS (MIS) carts be left out...

2002-01-12 by frankg_photo

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

Maybe it would be good to put them on the "EZ Plugs Cartridge Perch" 
which MediaStreet sells near the bottom of the Niagra (aka 
NoMoreCarts' CIS) page on their web site:

http://mediastreet.com/cgi-bin/tame/mediastreet/niagra.tam

although Frank might find them closer to him or even somewhere open 
over the weekend.
