Large format printers long term storage recommendations

[markcsun]

We've got two large printers, iPF9400 and 4600S, and we are planning on not using them for at least a year.

Last time I left the iPF9400 alone (during the COVID shutdown), I came back to it needing both print heads replaced. I'd like to avoid that this time. Is there a proper procedure for long term storage of large format printers that are full of ink to avoid problems when restarting?

thanks,
