Default Ink care for pigment and sublimation ink

are there any special care instructions for the inks?

I mean can i just let em sit there in their CISS containers or do i gotta jiggle/shake/move em every so often?

sublimation ink tends to settle and harden right? thats why there are clogging issues?

I don't jiggle,shake,move em and I will soon be filling my cis mine have set for three months with no movement was told that the ink can separate by shaking them..

Now for clogging issues you need to print at least once per day it is the printing heads that clog the ink will dry on the heads and then you will have to clean the heads so to save on this I just print with paper or transfer paper..

There are programs for running your printer so you can set it for once A day if you are not going to be there am not sure what the name is but they are out there.
