We just purchased an Epson SureColor P800 for the high school digilab, and I am
curious what others do with regards to turning power on and off each night,
over the weekend, or over longer periods of non-use.
Does turning the power on and off have any effect on print head longevity?
I have an Epson R2880 and I turn the power off when I'm not using it.
On rare occasions this can be on-off-on-off in one day, but rarely.
I've seen no problems with print head clogging, which supposedly (in the
olden days) was one reason to never turn a color printer off -- 'keep
the ink in the jets warm and soft' or something like that.
These days I think most color printers have print head parking pretty
much nailed.
Personally, unless you're using it a lot every day, I'd turn it off
until you actually need it. Mine seems to take no time whatsoever to be
print-ready after having been off for days...
