Digital BW, The Print

Hi Cindy,

Just another note on the Epson 1270 -- I don't print regularly - 
sometimes weeks go by without making a print. I have had the printer 
for somewhat more than a year, and have had no clogs ever. I turn the 
printer off between printing sessions, and only use Epson inks in Epson 
cartridges. Yes, they are somewhat expensive, but if you are not a high 
volume printer perhaps the cost is acceptable. I've been pleased with 
the output (both color and B&W). Many of the clogging problems I have 
read about seem to involve continuous flow systems using non-Epson 
inks, although perhaps others who use these systems could comment more 
authoritatively on this.

Regards,
Bob
