Digital BW, The Print

I went through a number of EZ cartridges when I first set up my C84 (a 
couple of years ago), to check out the various neutral/warm combinations 
before picking one to use with a CIS.  I don't recall having any 
clogging problems with the carts, and have had none to speak of in 2+ 
years of running many bottles of EZ ink through the CIS.  I didn't let 
the printer sit very long when I was testing it with cartridges, but it 
has sometimes gone more than a month between printings with the CIS 
installed.  Any time a nozzle check has indicated a problem, it only 
takes one or two cleaning cycles to get everything back up to par.

The C84 recently died - message said its parts had reached the end of 
their service life (I don't count every print, but just the two 
Christmas projects it did totaled over 1800 8x10 images - not bad for a 
$60 printer.)  I replaced it with a refurb C88 ($59 from Epson, 
delivered), moved the CIS over and have been running smoothly from the 
first print.

Cheers,
Kip
