I have this printer. It sucks. I have had to unclog the tubes 3 or 4 times because it will stop printing. The last time I flushed the tubes out and it worked for 1 week before it stopped printing again. Trash.

I have this printer, works great. When a color(s) clogs, which happens to most inkjet printer over time, use these pages instead of printer menus. https://moonshinecrafts.com/help-...d-nozzles/

The problem with this printer or any epson is that the print heads will constantly clog due to their small size. For those that use it everyday-this isnt a problem. But for those that dont, you always run the risk of clogging the longer it sits. Moreover, the longer it sits, the greater the possibility you cant unclog. Thats why our business avoids epson printers completely. Take this for what you will.

Does that unclogging work with regular ink? I have a CISS on 12 printers using a workforce wf-3640. In my past experience printing a complete black ink page like the one downloaded will screw up the printer and clog it a lot worse.

I have an older model for over 2 years and I have not had an issue other than epsons shitty software. Only have to run the cleaning cycle after a packet of paper. This is also being used for a home business so I print about 50 pages a day.

These EcoTank printers are good for 6-8 months. Stay away if you don't want to deal with the headache of having to return them to Costco after a few months of use due to lines showing up in your prints. You will definitely get a lot of prints out of these printers with each set of cartridges or "tanks" but not worth the headache IMO. I took mine back to Costco twice; got an HP on the second exchange. Thank goodness Costco has a generous return policy.

@OP will the ecotank 2840 work for the crafts/sublimation as well? There is no costco in my city, but there is a sams club. And it's on sale for $180.

We have the higher end version of this (we did a lot of batch scanning when we were still home schooling) and it has not had issues. We did have to return the first one for a defective scanner, but Costco is good with returns.

It's a inkjet printer. There is no auto clean. You can't let it sit for weeks and expect it to not clog. It even talks about this in the manual.

These printers are amazing if you don't misuse them.

I'm having a beast of a time getting the colors to come out right for sublimation after trying multiple ICC profiles and configurations. Can you share how you set yours up?
