Hi,

I need to store my Epson C84 for 2 months.
I think to remove the cartridges, but is there an other thing to do ?

Thanks.

Hi there
Provided you store it in a dry place (and away from rodents and insects who
quite like to get into printers) the only thing that might happen (but not
always) is the printheads could dry out. For that reason I would be inclined to
leave the ink cartridges in place, that should help to keep the printheads
moist.
Arthur Entlicha <e-printerhelp@mvps.org> is the most knowledgeable person I
know in this newsgroup with respect to Epson inkjet printers and is always
willing to help, he might have better advice. When you retrieve the printer and
if you do have print quality problems then ask Art for a copy of his manual
which will almost certainly give you a solution.

Sorry Art, I really can spell your name, just a typo. Art's correctly spelled
name is Arthur Entlich (without the extra "a").

It's my hidden Spanish heritage coming through ;-)

Many many thanks for all your help.....

I'll do all that, on the morning before my departure.
