Any suggestions for 'saving' ink cartridges? Do not use printer for months and when I do the ink is 'dry'.

Storing Opened Cartridges
-
If opened supplies must be stored outside of the product, place them (nozzles up) in a plastic tub with an airtight lid.
-
Some cartridges have an orange cap that is twisted off to open. If these supplies have been opened, replace the orange cap before it is stored.
-
Place a damp cloth or paper in the tub.
-
Do not use plastic bags. Do not allow anything to touch the cartridge nozzles.
Figure: Plastic tub with an airtight lid
Figure: Do not touch the cartridge nozzles
Hope this helps.
