I do not use the printer every day, is it best to turn on the pro-1100 once every day for 15 to 30 min or once a month turn the printer on. I might go a month without printing a photo.</P> Tue, 17 Feb 2026 14:52:31 GMT https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Professional-Photo-Printers/How-often-to-turn-on-imagePROGRAF-PRO-1100-if-I-don-t-use-it/m-p/586865#M19296 rharper954 2026-02-17T14:52:31Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Professional-Photo-Printers/How-often-to-turn-on-imagePROGRAF-PRO-1100-if-I-don-t-use-it/m-p/587121#M19301 <P>Hi,</P> <P>Canon Pro printers should be turned on and used<SPAN>&nbsp;</SPAN><MARK class="HxTRcb" data-processed="true">at least once a month</MARK><SPAN>&nbsp;to prevent ink from drying and clogging the print heads.
