They are bad printers in the sense that ever since Epson came out with 
the Durabrite inks their printers have been infamous for clogging up 
nearly instantly (I've seen reports of printers breaking down in two 
days). If you buy one, unclog it, and switch to the MIS Pro ink, I 
suspect that there will be less chance of clogging than with the Epson 
OEM Durabrite ink.

If you search the newsgroup comp.periphs.printers, try to locate and 
contact Arthur Entlich, who has written a cleaning manual to help try 
to unclog jammed Epson printers.
