If you decide to use them, hold each cart up rite and shake them horizontally for at least a minute, then install the carts and let them rest for about an hour so that any fine bubbles will dislodge. You don't want air trapped in the print lines. They do...they move side to side when printing that must shake it up sufficiently...if you print regularly.

Some Canon large format printers have shakers. My ipf6100 24 inch (about 60cm) shakes every day for a few minutes if it is not powered down. It's on a battery backup/surge box and it often sits idle for weeks when I travel. It does a head check and sometimes a cleaning and then prints without any problems. The Canon ipf 6100 uses 12 carts and the OEM ink is over $100 a cart. I get aftermarket carts from the US for about $50 each including shipping. The ink usage is way less than my old Epson 4000 17inch printer and there are no clogging problems so it was well worth recycling the Epson and buying the Canon.

I had 2 HP photoprinters which were no longer compatible with the newer windows OS's, so I got rid of them. The small inl reservoirs required replacement after only 4 or 5 8"X 10" high quality prints so ink was the most costly item. I've been looking into a new printer, but, from following this discussion, I tend to think that I may just send the photos I want printed to somewhere like MPIX and bypass the hassles with clogged heads, etc..

Ed if you don't want a lot of your pix printed a comercial printer is a good choice. Even with a a large format printer I still send out my 4x6 prints. They can do it cheaper.
