[Digital BW] Re: More Easy B&W Questions

2003-12-04 by flyfishingusa2002

I had the same problem with a 1200 and a 1270, but the 2200 is 
different in that is uses pigment inks rather than dye based. As a 
matter of fact both my 1200 and 1270 clogged on a regular basis even 
using the Epson inks. Great color gamut, but the cloggs made it more 
than they were worth. Since i purchased a 2200 I have never looked 
back. I also run a 3000 with MIS inks and dispite letting it sit 
powered off for weeks sometimes, it never takes more than one 
cleaning cycle to get it firing on all jets...I assume that you have 
also first hand experiance with the 2200 and MIS inks? If you have 
and have had problems with cloggs on the 2200 then I shall steer 
clear of them and follow you advice and purchase 7600 to refill from.
