How can it be bad?&#8221;  You might be wondering the same thing.  Printers are very much like boats and planes.  What?  Huh?  Yes, just as boats are made to sail and planes are made to fly, printers are made to print.  In all three cases, more damage occurs when these devices are just sitting &#8211; whether that&#8217;s in a dock (ship), at an airport (plane) or in your home (printer).  In the case of printers, when they are unused for long periods of time, a number of negative things can happen: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-list\"><li>If your printer uses ink cartridges, the ink can gel and not flow properly when the printer is used.  This can cause an ink color to not print at all or to print faded or streaked.<\/li><li>The paper sitting in the printer can gather moisture from the air (yes, even in air conditioned scenarios).  Moist paper can cause paper jams when the printer is used and can also cause the ink to not adhere to the paper correctly.  Documents and pictures can appear faded or lack contrast when the ink isn&#8217;t applied correctly.<\/li><li>Dust and other particles from the air can settle and can damage the printhead and other mechanisms in the printer. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reusing Paper Saves $$$<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/stackedpaperinprinter-1024x680.jpeg\" alt=\"Digital printing machine during production\" class=\"wp-image-5240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/stackedpaperinprinter-1024x680.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/stackedpaperinprinter-600x399.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/stackedpaperinprinter-300x199.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/stackedpaperinprinter-768x510.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/stackedpaperinprinter-1536x1020.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/stackedpaperinprinter.jpeg 1626w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">I believe in saving trees.  Anytime we can conserve using paper, that&#8217;s a good thing.  However, most of the time, it&#8217;s not a good idea to reuse paper on which you&#8217;ve already printed.  I know it sounds like a good idea.  However, while you might be saving trees and money when it comes to purchasing paper, you could be shortening the life of your printer.  The longer we can keep your printer out of the computer recycle system, the better.  Why is it not a good idea to re-use paper?  See if the first reason sounds familiar:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-list\"><li>The paper, which already has ink on it, may have gathered  moisture from the air (yes, even in air conditioned scenarios).  Even the ink itself is a form of moisture.  As stated above, moist paper can cause paper jams when the printer is used and can also cause the ink to not adhere to the paper correctly. Documents and pictures can appear faded or lack contrast when the ink isn&#8217;t applied correctly.<\/li><li>Since the paper has already been through the printer once, it may not feed through cleanly which can cause jams.<\/li><li>The previous ink may rub off onto the rollers which then may later streak or smudge new, clean printed sheets.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your Printer Takes Care of Itself<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/maitenancesign-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"Yellow caution maintenance vector sign on white background\" class=\"wp-image-5241\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/maitenancesign-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/maitenancesign-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/maitenancesign-100x100.jpeg 100w, https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/maitenancesign-600x600.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/maitenancesign-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/maitenancesign-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/maitenancesign.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">Actually, most non-business printers do <em>not<\/em> take care of themselves.  You need to maintain them.  Pretty much all printers have a maintenance option built-in to the printer itself or to the software which supports it.  Regularly running the maintenance will generally lengthen the lift-span of your printer and keep your printer sheets cleaner and clearer.  Maintenance can include options like cleaning the print head and pressure cleaning the spray nozzles.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">Besides the specialized printer cleaning, keeping dust and dirt out of and off of the printer can also keep it running longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">It&#8217;s Okay To Stock Up On Ink When It&#8217;s On Sale<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/inkcartreiges-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"the color printer inkjet cartridge of the printer inject\" class=\"wp-image-5243\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/inkcartreiges-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/inkcartreiges-600x400.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/inkcartreiges-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/inkcartreiges-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/inkcartreiges-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/inkcartreiges.jpeg 1620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">If your printer uses ink cartridges like those shown in the photo above, stocking up on them because they are on sale is never a good idea.  I normally tell people to never purchase this kind of ink in a quantity that you can&#8217;t use within 90 days.  Why?  Because even though these cartridges are usually wrapped tightly, they will often evaporate or gel up when they sit on the shelf for a very long time.  I once had a customer who called me to her home because she had put new ink in her printer and it still wouldn&#8217;t print.  It turned out that the ink she had just installed had been on her closet shelf for almost a year and all the ink was either gone or had turned almost solid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bonus Tip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/6_reams_of_paper_stacked_on_the_floor-Large-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"6 reams of paper on the floor\n\" class=\"wp-image-5247\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/6_reams_of_paper_stacked_on_the_floor-Large-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/6_reams_of_paper_stacked_on_the_floor-Large-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/6_reams_of_paper_stacked_on_the_floor-Large-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/6_reams_of_paper_stacked_on_the_floor-Large-600x601.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/6_reams_of_paper_stacked_on_the_floor-Large-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/6_reams_of_paper_stacked_on_the_floor-Large-768x769.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/6_reams_of_paper_stacked_on_the_floor-Large.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">In several places above, I mentioned paper taking on moisture.

Wrap it as securely as you can to keep moisture out; 2) Keep a minimum amount of paper in the printer&#8217;s paper drawer. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In my first post about printer misunderstandings, I explained the three normal ways printers are hooked up so that they can be used.
