Re: Quick question: Power on or off?

["Michael Alexenko" <alexenko@worldnet.att.net>]

I've had the opposite problem with my 3000 (using Luminos silver inks)...I
need to power-cycle it every 2-3 weeks to avoid clogs.  I learned this hard
way when it was off for 2 months, and it had a clog from hell.  I believe I
tried the Windex trick 1,557 times to no avail before taking it to an Epson
repair station (where they had 3000's stacked like cord-wood).

I've had mini-clogs from hell since then, but the Windex trick over a period
of several days has fixed it.

If I find myself in a printing lull, I will try to power cycle the 3000
regularly, perhaps even printing some colorbars.

I have been convinced of two things over the last couple of years: small
children develop ear infections as a hobby, and that my 3000 develops clogs
because it gets jealous of me spending my time elsewhere.
