Canon VS. Epson printers; clogging

2004-05-30 by mbito4000

Hi

Sorry for what is probably a simple question, but in your experience, 
do Epson printers clog more than Canon printers (e.g., 1280 vs. 
i9100)? I am looking for a large format printer and know that Epson's 
have a broader support base in regard to inks, etc. But based on the 
number of posts, they appear to clog more frequently. Or is it more 
of a case that there are more Epsons out there so you hear more about 
their problems that with Canon printers?

Thanks in advance.

Michael

Epsons clog more frequently when one uses third party inks. 

Have you ever seen a post complaining about clogging with UC inks.  I suppose there are 
some, but...

I suffered MIS inks for quite a while; indeed they have advantages, but I decided to print 
rather than debug.

And are you into print quality (Epson)? or speed (Canon)? that should be the basic 
question.

For large posters, etc. Canon is great, but for fine art printing Epson is the only way to go.
That is why they have such a large support base.  Each company has chosen a market to 
focus on.
