Digital BW, The Print

well, i'm pretty sure I have never had a clog. i have an epson 1200 and 
a 1280. I just got the 1280, and have gone thru i set of stock ink, and 
two sets of MIS UT2 inks so far. On the 1200 I would go for maybe a 
week or two at the most without printing something. I used lyson 
quadblacks for a long time on the 1200, (which work well) and also 
lyson small gamuts (Which I never got satisfaction from by the way) and 
now I am using the 1200 for stock epson ink color and black-only. The 
1200 never was a pain except that with Black-only, sometimes there 
would be very slight microscopic lines in the medium dark areas. One 
thing I did fairly often was use a cleaning cartridge on the 1200. I 
dont know why except it was sitting there so why not use it. The 
cleaning cartridges seem to last a long time. I just put tape over the 
air holes and the bottom hole. A month later, it's still wet and works 
fine. That is a lyson cleaning cartridge. DM
