Same here.  I use an 870 with MIS inks and the few clogs I've had are
cured with a few cleaning cycles.  This past weekend I used it after
about 5 weeks of sitting, and it required 2 cleaning cycles. 
Sometimes I use it after 2 or 3 weeks sitting and require no cleaning.
 The clogs I do get are more frequent in winter when humidity is lower
(yes we have winter in Florida <g>).

Clayton
