Funny thing clogging is-:
A C62 clogged on its 2nd day, the replacement clogged on the 4th day
the Canon ip5000 over 5 months now I guess, has never clogged nor
ever wanted a print head clean yet.
I did have an HP but could not comment because I took it back as soon
as I opened it, I could not be bothered changing the cartridges every
time I wanted to print text, think it was I HP5550 or something like
that.
So silly ol me went went out and got a C62 which was a darn bigger
mistake.
The Canon serves me proud so it's Canon printers for me.
Never know about Lexmark (now makes them for Dell) whether you get a
free printer with the cartridges or free cartridges with the
printer..?

Aye... well my experience has been:
C84 = only now starting to have a few issues after 2 years
C86 = refurb I got from ebay for testing... works fine..
D88 = Brand new... Again no problem
MP750 = Love this thing and no problems since I got it tweaked
R200 = going fine...
R300 = pretty good.. was refurb'd badly and hit service required early
waste ink tank now installed and reset, all good.
... and yes, none of those are replacements.. All have CIS kits installed
with MIS inks.. Only one is having problems and that's just a case of a
bit of nozzle cleaning to resurrect it...
C84 x 3 @ School = no problems aside from the summer when they don't
print for 6 weeks (now resolved with MIS autoprint utility)
The only serious problems I've had are people selling me "working"
second hand printers that are anything but. Lesson learned...
Each to their own I guess...
