    Make sure you have a pure sine wave inverter.

    Why do you print your logs? I would say computer files are sufficient, and they can be stored everywhere: computer, email, online storage, and an external drive.

    I’ve also had ink problems in the summer. I always carry an extra ink cartridge and leave it inside the fridge during summer. Ink cartridges are recommended to be used within a certain amount of time once installed, or you can also take them out and store them inside the fridge following the instructions in this website:

    Had mine for about 4 years, bought at Walmart for 59.00, never had a problem, summer or winter. Make sure you power down printer before unplugging. The print head must be parked before unplugging, if not the head/cartridge will dry up.

    I started getting my ink cartridges direct from HP. Same price as Walmart and free next business day delivery.
