Re: Head clogging concerns

2005-12-31 by djon43

I use an Epson 2200 with OEM pigments..I leave it on for days at a
time, have left it off for a month or more on several occasions. I've
not had a trace of anything like clogging in two years, and I'm in dry
New Mexico. The carts do not dry out when they're removed from the
machine, don't require baggies or refrigeration or any type of seal
because the carts are so well designed, self-sealing.

I may start using Eboni with the Epson pigments, and I will not be
surprised if I do have occasional clogs with that.
