How to keep inkjet cartridges from drying out when printer not used.

The only solutions I know to this problem are the one I provide here and to simply use your printer every few days or so. Since I don't have a need to use this printer frequently, I'm going with the solution in this video.

I’m SOOOO GLAD I stumbled on this video you’re such a thinker, I never thought about that I had thought about a bag but know the ends would get touched that way, so your video has been so very nice and the comments as well about using a puppy pad those would keep much longer, so thank you again sweetheart much appreciated god bless

I would bet nothing gets passed you and you read the small print for everything. If I never came across this video I would never ever ever have known this. Cheers.

WooHoo!!! Thank you very much, for sharing this information. I have been wasting so much money buying ink cartridges because they dry out.

Thank you sir for your service ... today I searched for this exact problem and this came first 👏👏

OMGosh how easy is that?!! IF only I'd known before what it is that I now know today! Thank you so very much for sharing this very simple but yet SO incredibly informative video tip with us! I can't begin to tell you how pleased I am to have stumbled upon your video post today. Many thanks!

Great tip. Also, seeing that VHS/DVD player combo brings back good memories 😊

I admit I don't often read instructions on manuals or on websites. Thank you so much for this video, I was concerned how much I would have to spend on buying new ones all the time they dried up.

Thanks! I never had a problem before, but I don’t print very often and I was shocked that my cartridge dried out!

[Purple_haired_cleric]

Thanks for the video! The last time I used was a few months ago. The humidity here is usually below 40%, no wonder it's printing blank pages! 🤯

Thank you so much, l had tried placing tape on the cartridge and then putting in a ziplock before finding the video. Of course, that didn't work. Now, l know what to do. Thank you once again. God Bless

[ellejaye]

Thank you for the tip! I wonder would a humidification packet work the same way 🤔 like Boveda

[Rollotomassi]

good stuff... my mobile printer carts were drying out fast sitting in my car... now i know why

[silentnight]

Yeah but one has to really hunt for that info. You are mighty patient. ThanQ for sharing.

[emmanuelwatson]

I don't do that much prinking, like once in a every couple off month, so I often have to pay for new cartridges just to print a handful of pages and then by the time I need to print something again, they've dried up. And with the cost of ink cartridges these days, it does tend to make a dent in the wallet, so I am going to give this a try and hope it works.

[kenmitchell]

I will do this today. Won't the wet paper towel turn to mold or mildew though?

[glennlopez]

Good sense!
Thanks!
Perhaps a thin sheet of rubber foam placed in the box, would control the water sloshing all over and into the circuit ribbon.

From where did you get the stuff with covers the nozzle? Or they came with the cartridges when you bought them?

[paulajameson]

Have you not found it necessary to remove the printhead also? We leave our mountain home for 2-3 months at a time and have had many ink problems.

My storage is a little different. I use the cover that came with mine but a dampen a toilet tissue and put it over the jets then cover it in the plastic wrapper it came in then store them much like you do but I also put them in a refrigerator that I have in my office. That what works for me. I have used it several times.
