Re: 2200 : Piezo Vs UT7 : hassle?

2007-07-01 by koloshor

My personal experience is that a 2200 that has a fouled cleaning
mechanism, a plugged drain tube at the capping station, or a fouled
pad in the capping station will clog, no matter what inks are in it,
and a clean, working 2200 won't clog with either UT7 or Epson UC. One
of my 2200 has had MIS inks for years, without a clogging problem,
longest off time about 2 months.

Try pulling the carts from both printers and putting the UT7 in the
machine that has the color, and the color in the machine that
currently has the UT7. If the machine still clogs now that it has
colors, it's the machine that needs work...
