I do not know what the good reasons are to leave an Epson printer on when not in use ! I do know that when switched off the heads go to the park position, doing exactly what the manufacturers designed it to do. I presume that Epson know what their kit does, I do as Recommended and switch off. When I left the printer on I had problems with ink leaking out and causing serious smudging,with it turned off I no longer get the problem. I used the printer yesterday ,the first time since before Christmas and it worked perfectly,what more needs to be said?
