I have an Epson D88, and i would say to stay well clear, I will the next printer I purchase.
Regarding head clogging, that's never happened to once of my printers before. I've had nozzle clogging, but that is easy to clear with a simple epson utility.
The ink in Epsons never lasts long. I think you would be better off with a HP.
My sister has one of those deskjets, and you can go weeks to months of occasionally printing without having to change cartridge.
With Epsons, although you have individual cartridge tanks, you will be forever replacing them, as stated, they do not last long, so thin; and they always run out at different times.
