3 questions relating to both the Epson 2880 and 3880:
1. In case an ink cartridge is nearing the end, do I have to make sure PRIOR to a print job that there is sufficient ink left to complete the job (i.e. replace the cartridge even if there is some – but insufficient - ink left yet [and if so, how do I know]) or may I change the cartridge DURING the print job when it actually comes to COMPLETE end? In case of the latter, will this be in any way noticeable in the final print?
2. If I COMPLETELY switch off the printer (i.e. pulling the power cord, also NOT leaving it in standby-mode), would the printer consider this as some kind of “long term storage” (don’t know a better expression), which would initiate a cleaning of the printing heads and thus additional waste of ink? Are there any other circumstances, which would lead to “unnecessary” printing head cleanings?
3. Once a new ink cartridge started, is there an “expiry” duration for this cartridge? If so, how long is this?
Thank you very much for your responses.
