Frustrated with my Epson cx7400, good alternative?
I have an all in one Epson cx7400. The problem is that I don't use the
printer every day and the heads clog like a mutha. I just wasted about half a cart of ink on head cleaning and it is still banding and it is leaving black bands across the paper. No point in wasting another $36 for ink so I'll just get another printer but I do occasionally print transfers so I need pigmented ink. On the other hand I've been reading positive results with the new claria inks. Suggestions?

Canon printers are more clog free than Epson but I am not speaking for their pigmented printers. If you must have pigmented printers then I suggest you print a test page every 10 days or so.
