Ricoh ink useage on overnight shutdown/startup

[arthur.daley]

Hi All

I may have to do some mug printing on location which obviously menas that I will have to shut down my printer, load my gear up, leave it overnight,transport it to the venue, set it up and restart the printer and then do the whole thing in reverse order after the event.

I normally leave my printer on 24/7 to keep the maintenance cycling and non printing ink usage down.

If I shut down and leave the printer overnight, when I switch it back on is it going to want to go through a cleaning cycle after less than 24 hours of shutdown?

How do others printing on location manage this issue?

Or am I worrying over nothing?

i turn mine off everynight, (old habits of living with fireman) and it doesnt purge, and doesnt seem to have used any more ink than anyone elses.
