Let me say first that my 1430 is always "on". Recently I went to Argentina (four weeks) and I put the printer to "off". Came back, put the printer "on" made a nozzle check. Everything went fine and I must go with Paul Roark's saying : Ebony 6 rarely clogs. Pigment inks are not prone to clogging.
What I would like to know is "Do I have to shake the cartridges?" Fortunately for me, my 1430 is still printing flawlessly (although there is a minor glitch that arise on some prints- a bit of ink is spilled at the end on the very far border of the paper).
Aside that, I'm pretty happy with the printer. The only time that made me cautious was not a blocked nozzle but simply air in the cartridge. I let the printer sit for 24 hours (off) and the next morning, everything was back to normal.
Hope this helps

Jacques:I am a bit curious. Do you remove your ebony inks when you arenot printing for an extended period – say three or four weeks?I have always removed the Cone inks when I am away for a period of time. If not there a tendency for one or more to channels to misfire-using the 2880. course it is a simple matter to clean the lines on the 2880Elliot
