I’ve been using a 2880 without a single clogging incident fir years. Bought it when it was first introduced. In recent years I’ve probably made only one print a month or so but it keeps chugging along. I use only Epson ink and buy it from Atlex or Epson, never off store shelves. I don’t if any of that matters, but I suspect fresh ink is a factor.
