Hi
I am sure I have seen this topic here before but a quick search did not turn it up, so I apologise for the repeat.
I have just moved 1600kms and was concerned about moving my printers, especially the large Canon.
I used the original packing and set the machine to "Level 1" mode (See page 947 "Preparing to Transfer the Printer" in the User's Guide.)
I ensured that the movers understood that it could not be tipped or tilted beyond the allowed angles and it was loaded into the truck. It arrived without a problem.
I connected everything up and it printed perfectly. No ink was lost in the process.
For the 3880's, I removed the ink cartridges, packed them in their original packaging and placed them on a foam mattress in the back of my vehicle, that too worked like a charm.
