Inks, anyone ? I gave up on Epson because their inks dried and clogged the heads on a weekly basis during summer - I spent more on ink used in head cleaning than in printing. Switched to HP and I have not had a single instance of clogging. Incidently my (other) ten year old printer, an HP Deskjet 710c, a backup so used only once every couple of years, also has had no clogging.
