I wasn't aware of the problems with the ink drying up if the printer remains on all of the time. Considering this Epson one already has ten problems too many with carts I wouldn't be surprised if I could be getting far better performance out of this thing. That and I keep all of my systems off of standby, personally. It just seems...right. If I'm not going to play a game for the rest of the day why should the system be on standby?

Then you need to run a head cleaning, which wastes more ink, just to get to the fresh ink underneath. It's part of what made me get rid of my printer, since I only used it one or twice a month.

The same is true for monitors, to a lesser extent.
