Is it safe to temporarily remove and reinstall the same ink cartridge?

• Yes, but whenever an ink cartridge is removed, be sure to protect the ink supply area from dirt and dust. Although the valve of the ink supply port is designed to prevent spills and contamination, special care is recommended. Do not touch the ink supply port or its surrounding area.
  
  Be sure to always install an ink cartridge into the printer immediately following the removal of the current ink cartridge. If the ink cartridge is not installed promptly, the print head may dry out rendering it unable to print.
