I've got two 1160s.The one running epson inks I haven't turned off since I bought it just after it was released so I guess that's 3-4 years.No trouble,ever,no blockages,no cleaning cycles.Sometimes i don't use it for a couple of weeks.......... The other,about less than a year old and running Lyson inks does need the odd clean now and again.I don't turn that one off,either.
