Desktop Printer question about ink cartdriges?

I was just wonderingI have a Tri-Color Print Cartridge that's almost running out of ink, and it's not creating high quality pictures when I print with itBut it still has a enough ink left so that I can print color things in which I don't mind the quality too muchI do have another ink cartridge that is brand new, and I was wondering if it was possible that I open the new one, replace it, print out the high quality picture that I need, then take it out, put it in some aluminum foil, and replace the old oneWill that just dry out the new ink cartridge if I take it out and don't use it?I don't mean to sound cheap.but these ink cartridges are $80 each.and I'd like to conserve as much as possible.

Answer:

You're playing with fireIf you have the type of printer where the print head in not part of the cartridge, you're burning out your print head with that dry cartridgeIt's the ink running through the print heads that keeps them cool and functioningIf you have the type of printer where the print heads are part of the cartridge, you could still do damageThe print heads will melt and fry when not fed enough inkThis can cause short circuits that will fry the delicate electronics in your printer that control the ink flowI've found through trial and error that always promptly replacing an empty cartridge with another one made by the printer's manufacturer may seem expensive, but you'll find yourself shopping for a printer far less often.
