Knowing that the inks cost the consumer the aforementioned $5000 to
$8000 per gallon, and it costs the printer manufacturers probably less
than $10 a gallon to make, these printers are designed to use as much
ink as possible in as wasteful ways as possible.
It would be very simple firmware-wise to clean the head only on the
ink cartridge(s) just replaced, but where would be the profit in that?
If I printed more than a few prints per month, I'd have external tank
system on at least my R1800. And I'd get rid of my other three
printers if that were the case. I only keep them around (and have to
print on each one at least once a week to prevent clogging) because
their inks are less expensive than those of the R1800 (which I have to
print on at least every week to prevent IT from clogging).

So, does the printer purge _all_ of them when you replace only one?
I.e. it doesn't recognize which ones you've replaced, assuming it
was done to all of them. Correct?
