May I also guess what comes next?
We'll hear from that small group who say, "I only use my $80 printer once or twice every 3 months, and it's never failed me, so what are you talking about?"
I guess some folks are just plain lucky, to not represent part of the majority! <grin>
Some people don't like spending money on maintenance. The head cleaning routine is there for a reason.

You're right, of course.
As I recall, H-P also had a head cleaning ritual, but the heads are in the cartridge. If you get one that has a nozzle to two that just plain dried up, you replace the cartridge and - Viola! - new printer!
I think there are double the number of nozzles in the Epson, but they are fine, and ink does dry, and without intelligent care, they WILL plug up!
Somewhere along the Epson line, we pass from the rank amateur category to the prosumer group, and I'd like to know what series that is...
Is it axiomatic with Epson that the more you spend on a printer, the better everything is?
