I've long been wanting a portable photo printer to take on trips, and after some recent research, I'm leaning towards buying an Epson Picturemate Deluxe.

I expect it'll have to travel in my checked suitcase, being too big for my carry-on bag.

My question is, isn't there a considerable risk of the ink leaking out of the cartridges as the checked suitcase is tossed around with who knows which end up? Or are portable printer cartridges designed to prevent this? If not, what do I need to do to avoid ink spillage problems -- take the ink cartridges out and carry them in my carry-on?
