from CompUSA Summary: I own this printer since October 2001. The only reason I was keeping it was the great print quality. However, the heads clogging become a nightmare. I don't understand people who suggest printing something daily to avoid clogging. Unless you own a print shop, it is impossible. If you do not use it a day, you probably need to clean heads. After a week - you have to. After a month - you need to spend about half the ink from the cartridges to make it work.
I never forgot to turn it off, but, on one occasion, it was on and idle for about 6 hours. After that it behaves like it was abandoned for a month.
In sake of a print quality, I tolerated this very long time, until Epson switched from Japanese to Mexican-made cartridges. They clog way too much, and the last one was not recognised at all.
Don't buy this printer! Look at EBay listings: nobody is buying them even for $10. Strengths: Excellent photo quality Weaknesses: Clogs up too much, does not recognise brand Epson cartridge made in Mexico Similar Products Used: Canon i860, HP LaserJet 6L Customer Service: N/a - never needed
