But I would rather keep the one we have
I've followed internet help with no positive results. So what's your secret?
Thanks
I had a place in Fort Myers and a place on Cape Cod for 14 years. I would keep the original packaging that came with the cartridges, and put them back in, then put each one into a zip lock bag. One of the places on Cape Cod was a travel trailer that was there all winter. I had the trailer for 5 years. Be careful when handling the cartridges so as not to touch the ink and handle the bags very carefully.
