The manufacturer of my printer (Epson) recommended that I use the printer at least twice a week to keep the jets clear. It didn't help.
Sure it did. You use more ink, you buy more ink, they make more money... You have to wonder if that's the sole reason they give out that advice.
Just to chime in here...
It is the sole reason. Cleaning ink jet jets takes a lot of ink and they do count on this to sell more ink.
Excellent argument for Color Laser printers.
I used to get ink cartridges once every 30-45 days making for an expensive proposition. Since I purchased a laser it is every 3-4 months for toners, and I print every day.
Since the price of Color Lasers have gone down, way down, then the whole idea of color ink jet is obsolete!!!!
