Follow these essential steps to avoid ink spillage and potential damage during transportation.
Begin by completely emptying all remaining ink from the external ink bottles.
Wipe the bottle mouth clean and seal it tightly with a paper towel or sealing film.
Use a syringe to extract any remaining ink from the internal ink cartridges.
Place the cartridges in a plastic bag to ensure no residual ink soils the equipment.
Extract all liquid from the waste ink tube using a syringe to avoid leaks.
Securely tie off or clamp the waste ink tube to prevent any backflow.
Secure the carriage/printhead with tape or brackets to prevent movement.
Place the printer inside the original box/wooden crate with sufficient foam padding.
Securely close and fasten the wooden crate or box for final shipping.
