For best ink consumption, should I leave it turned on all the time or turn it off after each printing to avoid the heads drying out? Some printers cycle some ink each time it is turned on. Wasteful. Does this printer do that?&nbsp;</P> Wed, 23 Sep 2020 13:35:49 GMT rlsds 2020-09-23T13:35:49Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Desktop-Inkjet-Printers/on-TR150-ink-consumption/m-p/319655#M1074 <P>I have anew TR150.
