I have never used one, but my impression from this list is that it was more prone to clogs than most printers.  I would be sure it gives a perfect nozzle check.

All of the printers I've tested have worked well with the dilute inks I use.  However, you may need to be able to make profiles on your own.  Most of the inksets I've used or recommend print well with the Epson driver, at least if QTR's Create ICC is used to make an ICC.  These are probably the easiest profiles to make; you can even use a flatbed scanner to do it.
