i do it for a living as well. There are 2 things you can
do. Buy a cheap test printer, and just before they buy, put
it in your own printer, do a cleaning, and then seal it
just before you sell it.

Or..I have gotten phone calls about this problem. I just
tell the customer to take a wet, folded paper towel, hold
it on the printhead for a few seconds, then place it in the
printer. This always works!

Good luck!!
