Not really. It gets sucked down into the waste pad the same as dye
ink. Think about it- if it can get through 4pl nozzles, a coarse
sponge isn't going to plug up.

The general rule: if Epson gives the ink a fancy name (Durabrite,
Ultrachrome, etc) then it is pigmented ink. If you have a hard time
finding any info on whether or not the ink is dye or pigment, it is
almost certainly dye.
