I have an Epson 6600 scanner/FAX/printer, and a separate same generation Epson printer. The 6600 has been good, with no major clogs since we purchased it 3+ years ago.
However, the cyan nozzle just clogged - and I cannot get it unclogged using the nozzle head cleaning function. The printer-only model has been on the shelf for 2 years, and it has at least 2 clogged nozzles.
I have been using Epson inks for the past 2 years, so this issue is solely the Epson printer.
The question is what to do with these printers. Any news from the unclogging department? Good cleaner chemicals and/or cleaning tanks modules?
I've gone thru a lot of Epson printers over the years, and the clogging issue has always been their downfall. If I could solve this problem, I'd probably keep these in service for many years to come.
Otherwise, it makes more financial sense to get a different brand printer and pay to have these recycled.
