First, thank you to everyone in this forum who have helped me along my journey getting 2 old sp-540i through the last 2 years and in turn building my business. We are now fortunate enough to be able to acquire 2 brand new VG3 printers and due to arrive in the next 30 days or so. I know these old sp-540i's are getting long in the tooth but are still workhorses and someone could use them to start up just as I have. My question is how can I properly store them? Do I get some cleaning cartridges and flush everything out replacing the captops and dampers? will the heads survive this? or do I keep them plugged in and printing something daily to keep them going until I find a taker? When I purchased the first one the previous owner flushed the lines and then replaced dampers, captops, wipers, heads and pump. I am ok with replacing all except the heads as they have a lot of life left in them and I still have 2 spare heads that will be going with them. Any suggestion is appreciated.

If you flush them you risk the heads not coming back when you refill it.
Keep it plugged in, print something weekly and keep it clean.
Sell it quickly and the easier it will be to you.
