I'm considering buying an Epson CX5600 multifunction printer, and I heard that if you have an Epson stuck some time, without using it, the ink in the heads will dry out and clog the heads through which the ink comes from the cartridge.

Id' really appreciate if anyone could tell me how often does this happen?

Thanks, Andrés

This will happen with most of the printers .. I have a Canon MFP and that also has this problem but that will happen only if I leave it for too long .. besides the Clogging problem theres a greater issue.. The printer will loose around 0.5 - 1 ml of ink every time it starts .. and the Ink cartridge is costly .. atleast in my case since its a photo printer

Anyways.. Clogging occurs if your printer is not used for around 7-8 months .. that is a rare case scenario in my case .. I buy around 3-4 cartridges every year. . so it doesnt get clogged.. I hope if you are buying a MFP your use will be similar to mine and hopefully it wont get clogged.. I'll recommend you go with Canon. . Bcoz the quality is better and plus you get loads of free software

but then its your personal choice ..

I finally decided for a Canon... well my dad actually did because he's the one who bought it. He chose the MP140, which has scanner included. It's not meant for photo printing like the MFP but it's quite useful anyway.
Thanks for the advice!

Great

I am using MP150

Works like a charm.. It wont clog but you might end up spending some extra on the cartridges .. One advice though.. Dont use the Refill option for this because of two reasons. 1.) It will affect your printing head if the INK is not made for this printer
2.) Printer might show you empty INK even if the INK is full (Happened to me initially and then i stopped going for the refills)



AND IT DOES PRINT PHOTOS INFACT GREAT PHOTOS

I use it all the time

Try finding Canon Photo papers... I can't seem to find any over here. So i use desmat..




Happy Printing
