I have an inkjet printer. Does leaving it on all the time hurt it or possibly dry up the ink?

It doesnot hurt it


It will not dry up if you didnot have it re-filled before. If it is the genuine cartridge, it will not dry up





PeaceI have an inkjet printer. Does leaving it on all the time hurt it or possibly dry up the ink?
doesn't matter if its on or off .. the cartridges dry out from the nosle part. That doesnt mean it will waste your ink, but it does mean that it won't print because the nosle is dry.





So, what you have to do when you want to print after a long inactivity, you need to take the cartridge out , wetten a napkin, and gently wipe the nossle a couple time untill the napkin got inked .. then you put it back.





Note: this concerns only to the cartridges that have the nossle ON them (and not on the printer instead).





About leaving it on, most of the printers have power saving options .. go to your ';control panel';, then ';printers';, and go to that printer's options, in the options try to find if there is something like ';stand by after xxx minutes';, and turn that future on .. that's a good thing, your printer is always off unless you want to print somethingI have an inkjet printer.

yep they dry out....try printing at least a test pg once/twice a month.
I heard that you should print something once a week.
No.
not leaving it on...but leaving it off in a dry place can dry up
No, but it will waste electricity. Why don't you just turn it off?
Ink cartridges will dry up if you don't use them regularly. My printer turns on and off with the computer. See if yours has that feature.
Nope.
