I'll wait until the jury is back on the reliability of the new, bigger print head in the 2000/4000 printers. Are they going to be more reliable? Not sure having to replace one $600 print head every time a channel goes is better than one $450 head perhaps a little more frequently. Are the head still only warrantied for a year? Finally, is the Canon printhead reliability issue just a function of the technology they used and therefore something we just have to accept as a nearly annual consumable?
The thing people need to understand is these printers from Canon and Epson were made for production environments with many prints every day. For the hobbyist, they do create problems because most don't put enough prints through the printers and things start to malfunction.
Like I said in my previous post, the HP printers I have are used sparingly at times, standing without printing for over a month and I have very little issues with clogs or things going faulty. I would recommend them for the home printer as it seems whatever technology they use, they can stand idle for extended periods without ramifications.
