Is clogging a problem with the IPF Series Printers?
NO! There are occasional reports of clogs, but they are so unusual that most users don’t even bother to do nozzle checks. One user reported 3 clogs in 2 years, compared to daily clogs with his Epson 9800. Clogging is not a significant issue with this printer! There is a single user report of colors shifting, which was not related to nozzle clogging. This was a one time occurrence for this poster (and no other reports of such a problem have been received), thought to be due to a momentary change in pressure that caused some ink(s) to be sucked “back” into the line, contaminating the Yellow color primarily. The poster suggested that if you do a nozzle check, be sure to look at the COLOR of the lines as well as the PATTERN. The problem was resolved by doing Head Cleaning B (strong cleaning).
