  You probably should look to something else than Epson R series 
  printers for reliability. 
  My R200 stopped working in one moment after about a year of 
  occasional printing. I used only MIS pigment inks in that printer. 
  One day I replaced UT7 inks by MISPRO, as I did several times before, 
  and didn't get a clean nozzle pattern. After number of clean up 
  cycles it still is not clean, and I suspect that either pump or wiper 
  is broken. Nozzle pattern is getting worse after clean cycle.
  So, in my opinion, those printers are good while they work, but they 
  could stop working any moment. And that will leave you with 
  unfinished job and with all your investments into MIS carts, inks, 
  etc, that cannot be used on next generation.
  I remember discussion about reliability related to cars. Lexus may be 
  the most reliable, but you could have a small fleet of Subaru for the 
  same money, and all together Subary will give you more reliability. 
  This way I would have to buy several r220 when they were at the 
  lowest price and with rebate, sell OEM inks and use them one after 
  another when they die.

  Good luck,
  Sergei
