Stir ink cartridges again or leave alone?

Hope this is in the correct sub-forum. If not, please move to the appropriate forum.

About three months ago I purchased a canon Pro-1000 printer. I followed Canon's setup instructions to the letter. Everything looked fine. Then life got in the way, and the printer has been sitting for around four months without having printed one image.

Part of the setup was to stir each of the 12 ink cartridges (gently turn the cartridge in hand) then insert into printer. Because the printer has been sitting for so long without any use, I'm wondering if I should re-stir the cartridges again. The only problem with doing that is the printer may once go through the process of cycling the ink through the machine, causing me to lose more expensive ink. Or, should I just leave it alone, print an image or two, and see how it looks?
