A bit of a bind, but less of a bind than squirting air-duster etc to
unblock an ink cart etc etc. At the end of each session remove the carts.
Grab a couple of couple of large party balloons with the neck cut off.
Stretch over the active face of each cart with a drop of
meths/denatured-alcahol in each balloon and store on a ledge with balloons dangling.


My Canon I hardly use. It just uses ink even while off.


There. Now. Footing the bill of some nameless, faceless corporation wasn't that bad after all, was it?
