I can roughly echo this, although I've had an occasional need to clean heads with K3, but I've never had to repeat this more than twice, usually the first cycle has cleared the problem. However, my experience suggests that clogging is very dependent both on the individual printer and also probably the user. I've owned 4 Epson 1160s, used all with pigment inks that were notorious for clogging in these printers. One got replaced under warranty for this (it also clogged with Epson inks), but otherwise I've had only minor problems over years of use.
