I have an HP inkjet printer that I want to box up and store for a backup. The cartridges are about empty. What's the best way to store it so the ink doesn't dry up and make it unusable? I assume that it's best to remove the cartridges but how about the print head? Can it be cleaned or will it dry up and be ruined?
