  1. Thank you for this article, I just have one question: Do you do any longevity/reliability testing on the printers? I have an Epson Ecotank and we had it just over a year when the print heads jammed up. I took it in to be serviced, and they told me that I needed to make sure it was printing more often, at least once a week, or it would continue to be a problem. We tried to remember to print that often but it was impossible to get it often enough to prevent further problems printing. We have had it only two years maybe, and I have given up on the whole thing. I am told that it is a problem with most inkjet printers but we never had that problem with our HPs. (We had several of them and they had other problems…) What kind of reliability testing do you do?

    1. Unfortunately all inkjet printers like the Epson Ecotank range require using regularly to prevent the print heads drying-out. Generally we recommend using them at least once a month to print a few pages. This isn’t something that’s unique to Epson but maybe you were using the HP printer more regularly. It is a widespread problem with inkjets that manufacturers don’t like to make very clear.
