Fan of Printing
I anticipate that my printing pattern will be to do quite a bit of printing sporatically. The printer might sit unused for weeks at a time, then I might use it for 10 to 30+ prints within a day or two.
I was wondering if it was advisable to cover the printer with something like a pillow case, or other light-weight, high thread count material between usage. Seems like this might keep it cleaner, but perhaps there are negatives to this, or better materials for a cover. Plastic sheet like a garbage bag? Or would this hold in undesirable moisture and/or gases?
Sorry if this has been asked before. I came across threads talking about "best practices" for moderate to long term storage, but didn't see anything about whether some kind of cover was advised.
And am I correct that it is best to keep the printer plugged in with power on so it can self-maintain itself to minimize clogs? I'm just getting started with refilling cartridges, so I don't anticipated that the cost of self-cleans will be that much of a factor.
