Frustrated with my Epson cx7400, good alternative?

[Mac Cool]

I have an all in one Epson cx7400. The problem is that I don't use the
printer every day and the heads clog like a mutha. I just wasted about
half a cart of ink on head cleaning and it is still banding and it is
leaving black bands across the paper. No point in wasting another $36 for
ink so I'll just get another printer but I do occasionally print transfers
so I need pigmented ink. On the other hand I've been reading positive
results with the new claria inks. Suggestions?

Canon makes a Pro9500 if you need pigmented ink. Canon printers are
more clog free than Epson but I am not speaking for their pigmented
printers. If you must have pigmented printers then I suggest you print
a test page every 10 days or so.

Stupid statement. Stupid post
You mean they clog less. But they will clog if you
don't print for an extended period of time.

I have never reached the extended period of time in 4 years because I
use Canon ink.

No just turn the printer on every few days.


Plus do not have the printer in a Hot room..
