I always do that. I don't really print that much now. When I had my first Epson Stylus Color 5760 it was in the Windows 95 days. I used to go through 2 of the black & color ink cartridges a week. I curbed that with my last computer, as Lexmarks ink's costed too much. I can get one of the 5 pack Epson color ink's for the Artisan 710 for $20.00 more than 1 Lexmark cartidge costed. I'm glad that printers gone now. I absolutely hated it.

Whenever you're not using the printer, be sure to turn it off. This ensures that the machine parks the print head in a "parked" position which also sets it on a sponge to prevent the print head jets from drying out and clogging. You'll save ink, aggravation, and time spent running the head cleaning procedure.
