  7. drops of magenta

    on the VP you can turn on "periodic cleaning" which wipes the heads. You can set it to clean after every print or every few minutes if you so choose. I wouldn't reccommend setting to clean every few minutes unless you only run small jobs... With the SP 540 if there is any ink on the metal...
