Winter Printer Maintenance: Keep Your Machine Running Smoothly

Saskatoon's harsh winters can wreak havoc on printers, causing ink to thicken, toner to clump, and paper jams from dry air. Start by keeping your printer in a room above 15-20°C (59-68°F) to prevent ink freezing or high viscosity that clogs nozzles. Always preheat for 10-15 minutes before printing to warm up components and improve ink flow.
Maintain 40-60% humidity using a humidifier to avoid static electricity and paper curling. Store spare ink and toner cartridges between 10-32°C (50-90°F), away from windows or garages, and let frozen ones thaw naturally before use. Run weekly cleaning cycles, wipe rollers with anti-static cloths, and print test pages regularly to catch issues early.
