Hi Bob, my Photosmart 7520 is going in for storage as well, but this one has a separate removable and manually-cleanable printhead. My thought is to remove the cartridges and do a manual printhead clean and then replace it and the cartridges to keep the printhead area covered while in storage. If I reinsert the cartridges on the clean printhead, would the ink start to flow down to the printhead again once I do that, or does the ink not flow through the printhead unless printing is happening? I figure this procedure would keep the printing area clean and ink-free for the time I go to use it again. Also, if in addition I taped the vent on top of the cartridges, would the ink stay liquid until then? Thanks for the help!!
