Any time you leave a printer powered up it creates heat. This heat will a lot of times bake ink into the printer's jets. I would take the color cartridges out, use a soft, clean, damp cloth and apply it to the cartridge tip. You're probably get a bunch of ink that soaks into the cloth, just wipe it a little when you're done and it should be good to go. Then before installing them again use a clean cotton swab. I use rubbing alcohol here and clean any and all of the residue out of cartridge carrier and off of the print heads. You may have to do this a couple of times to get the ink to flow through there effectively. Do a couple of cleanings via the printer's standard method. Usually the first run doesn't come completely clean. The second will be much better. Then before I shut it down I print something substantial so that fresh ink is run through the printer. Just make sure that you turn it off when you're done or you run the risk of clogging it again.
