For about 8 months I've used my 2200 sporadically (many days 
or even weeks at a time turned "off" ) and have had just one 
minor clog (using oem UC inks only). I've also read no internet 
chatter to indicate that the 2200 has any greater tendency to clog 
(relative to dye-ink Epsons). What the situation may be for a 2200 
using MIS pigment inks, I cannot say.
