Storing Opened Ink Cartridges

If your ink cartridges are already outside their original packaging, they should be placed in a plastic tub with an airtight lid for safekeeping. Along with the cartridges, place a damp cloth or paper in the sealed tub to initiate humid conditions in a controlled environment.

Remember, if cartridge nozzles are not stored in airtight and humidified conditions they can crust over or dry out, nullifying their usefulness. Make sure that there is nothing touching or leaning against the cartridge nozzles. If anything rubs against them, it can cause the ink to wick.
You know even your damp rag or papers will dry out in about in about a week or two, no matter how air tight your container is. Sorry but I've tried that but an open container, like a glass of water sitting in the container won't keep the cartridge from drying out. Good luck, try your solution!
