Treat them like you would a sack of potatoes. A cool, dry place will do well. If you have the orginal packing, reuse it and then place in plastic bag with some descentant(sp) to help keep it dry and/or humid under control. If no orginal packing, then place in plastic bag, wrap well and again use some descentant. If no descentant, try some popcorn(wrapped in paper, outside printer but inside bag) or baking soda(Arm&Hammer). If you feel popcorn may attract rodents and the like, then place in strong metal/plastic case. Leave all ink carts in place and it must be properly shutdown after last use and allow it to "park" itself as it normally does. Make/carve and then place a sturdy peice of foam/plastic to keep prthead from moving on its carriage rail further, then wrap.

hi
am new to this forum - hope sbdy can help...
I have a Canon printer iP4000 which I have to put into storage for about 6 months. Does anybody know if I have to do anything special? Should I take the ink cartidges out or leave them in? I'm a bit worried about print head problems if the printer is not used for such a long time.
thanks for any advice.
