| i need to put my Epson 2200 and 1270 into a storage unit for three to four months. Any advice for this semi-long term non-use so I don;t come back to a couple of non usable clogged up printers ??? |

I just threw away seven 2200 last year. I got fed up with keeping them around, telling myself I was going to finally un clog them all.
Drain the inks out and flush the system with isoprol alcohol?
I wouldn't leave them in, that's for sure.

| You have put it back in the printer at some point in the future. Under certain circumstances the printer may tell you that a cartridge is empty when in reality it is not, or a printer may tell you a cartridge still has ink in it when it is really empty, and this all depends on how you removed the cartridge just before installing this one. |

Well I got back to CA and hooked up the printer. after a few cleanings and a set of fresh inks (luckily I bought 134 assorted ink colors for $100 from a CL guy) it works fine...  |
