Inkflow reliability comparison between Epsons?

2004-04-16 by Richard Smallfield

Hello,
I currently have not one, but two 1200s that I can't get a proper nozzle check from ... one of them's gone off to be serviced and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the other one - but it's been over a week with no joy, having tried all the tricks short of pulling out the head and soaking it (which I suspect I lack the intelligence to do!).

My questions are this:
1. Is inkflow more likely to be a problem on printers with a smaller droplet size? If that's the case, I would imagine the 1160 could be more reliable than my 1200s.
2. Is inkflow generally less problematic with a CIS than from refilling carts? I imagine that all the pulling out and putting in carts with the refills might add to my problems, as inkflow has to be continually restarted.

thanks,
Richard
