Do I really have to leave this on all the time to avoid wasting ink? I want to get it for my daughter and she will not leave it on when not in use.

Don't worry about it for a long time not to use the sublimation technique makes nozzle clogging, and printing effect is better than I expected.

No, you don't have to leave it on all the time. Maybe there was an issue with a previous model, but this model (the CP910) does NOT have the same dye / paper problem. I turn it on to print, then turn it off, then on to print some more, then turn it off, and the paper runs out exactly when the dye runs out. Case closed. :-)

I turn mine off and only use it when I need to print. I don't print alot of pictures, probably about 2-3 max when I do use it. So far the only problem I have had is that it dropped off my internet. I was able to get it back on quickly.

Yes, you leave it on all the time until you refill then, turn it off (and don't forget to turn it back on when filled!) It is easier to refill turned off and I like to take that time to clean the unit. However, if you don't plan on using it for a length of time (vacation or ?) I suggest turning it off to conserve battery power.

Yes, I always remove the cartridge when I turn mine off. The cartridge can be removed as easily as it is inserted and by removing it, you can be sure you are not wasting it.

I don't leave it on all of the time, but I have left it on overnight. I don't think it would hurt to leave it on. I just got worried that someone might accidentally pick up the remote and hit one of the buttons without realizing it was not a television remote.l

My husband changes the ink cartridges. I will tell him about the proper way to change each on to avoid any problems. He got a spot of ink on his work jeans and it is there for eternity. When all else fails, read the instructions!.

You really need to run the printer thru deep cleans quit a few times particularly if this is the first transition to the new ink . you might even have to refill the ink a little more after cleaning. As I said usualy its in the transition to the new ink.

I leave everything on and it doesn't bother me. I've been using my washing machine for more than 5 years now. Enjoy!

We leave it on all the time. It is hot enough that you can't hold it with your hand for more very long but not hot enough to burn. Not very scientific but hope it helps

You are supposed to turn it off after each use. I have however forgotten to turn mine off right away and it did not turn off on its own. It got very hot to touch, so I am now very careful to turn it off after each use. 2 days ago by Danielle Scott

No, turning it off will use more ink. The printer will go through a cleaning cycle every time you turn it on, and a lot of ink is used up with each cleaning cycle.

You could leave it on all the time, but the wax scent may eventually lose its potency. I turn mine on when I get home from work and turn it off when I go to bed at night.

I wouldn't but I'm kind of a safety freak. (Just as I don't leave my dryer on when I go to bed.) My son feels safe with his left on at night mainly because it does have the tip over "off" safety feature. I think the company even recommends that it be unplugged when not in use.

I have had one long enough to use all the ink I would keep an eye on the batteries. If your stylus starts feeling warm, take the batteries out and examine them and test them. I had an extra set of batteries in my desk and they separated and left battery residue in my desk. When I contacted the maker they sent me 2 new stylist without any questions. One stylist burned a hole in my shirt. Still, they are the best stylist on the market. I don't know if I answered your question.

You cant turn the tape off. U cud just not put a tape in. That may be hard on the printer head but if u do that i wud also leave out the ink. I dont understand why u wud even want to do this. Tape rolls are realy cheap and last a long time. Also this is the only way u can see the machine is cashed out each night to zero. U will get used to the benefits if using a tape Im sure

I have left mine on for the past two weeks since I got it. I also recycle the wax that I peel off my hand. I have a little "critters" now in the bottom, but there seems to be no effect on anything. I plan to clean this out once a month. The only concern I have about leaving this on is when I leave my house, but I need this to be ready several times during the day for hand pain due to nerve damage. I suffer from severe deep cramps. It has only been two weeks but I have grown to depend on this. I hope this helps you at least somewhat.

Probably a good question for Sophia Global. However, I have some unopened waiting to use, and the ink is still quite 'fluid'. Hope this helps.

It's not safe to leave it on all of the time. I imagine it could be a fire hazard or the plastic could melt. The wax can turn into a solid when it is turned off and be reheated when turned on to be reused whenever you like. There is no reason to leave it on.
