Hello All
 
    Does anyone know if a Canon Imageprograf 1000 is kept powered up and a nozzle check/purge page is printed every 2 days if a major clean and loss of ink can be avoided?  Jose Rodriguez (on YOUTUBE) appears to state that the trigger perion for the pro 1000 to be 60 hours but it cannot be avoided?

I was hoping that a scheduled purge page within the 60 hour period might avoid the issue.  I was only getting about 40 A3 photographs printed from £600 worth of ink!   I am considering trashing the printer and buying something else.
