Do ink refills need to be sealed during storage?

Please excuse me if this is a dumb question..But when I buy a new pen kit,there is either a cap over the end,or a hard blob of somethng on the tip that has to be scraped off.

It got me to wondering if during long-time storage are we supposed to take out the refills of the pens,and cap them before use/or sale? I probably only have saved about half of the rubber plugs on the ballpoints,and the plastic caps on the rollerball refills.

It might take me years to sell/gift the pens I've made,and most have the upgraded refills that are expensive.I'd hate to have to rebuy them all over again...

Thanks for any thoughts!

Steve
