Ken,
This is exactly what I've heard. In fact, my last full
time job was working for a company that did a lot of
in-store marketing. Some of the designers used Epsons
at home and loved them. Never heard of clogging as an
issue.
Incidently, while there I saw dozens and dozens of the
HP printers (many were prototypes) and their build
quality was crap. So, I never even considered the 24"
HP printers that are out now even though they are very
price competitive.
