Well, them epsons actually have a small vacuum pump actively sucking the  
ink out of the head in the cleaning position. (or was it sucking the money  
out of your pocket...)
Also, the "waste ink" disposal container is HUGE compared to hp. In there  
must fit many, many cartridges full of ink.

If you look at the outragous prices for wax-sticks for solid ink printers  
that all is harmless. I mean black for free and color prices just _insane_.
