I hardly use my printer so the ink went dry. I know, the way to prevent this from happening is to use it once a week and that is not an option. Is there any brand of ink that will not get dry?
Or, if I take out the ink cartridge if I am not using it, will that prevent the drying out? I am talking about weeks and maybe
months in between use.

when talking about ink jet catridges, they will all have varying degrees of drying. HP has been known for long lasting ink, but the cartridges that last work in printers with built in heads... which have been known to clog and break.

Laser toner will never dry out. In fact, when its sold to you its already in powder form. The toner catridges have an expiration on them, but anyone with a laser printer will tell you that toner lasts for years and years.

there is no ink really that you can get. the only thing or manurfacture that will last is HP...i am using the old HP's and they have yet to go dry. i have had the same ink cart. for over a year. i got then used. they sat in my car for 2 days in the 90degree heat and it did nothing to the ink. i rarely use them but when i do, they always print. HP guarantees there ink not to dry for 1 year.
