Planing to Use a canon printer with the jetstar Premium.
Anyone had used a canon on this film?

I would like to get the Epson because of the cheaper inks, but am afraid
the ink will get stuck in the printhead because i wont be printing that
often. For the canon, it will be easier to clean the head with an
ultrasonic cleaner if it gets stuck. I think.
