> The biggest problem with inkjet is clogged nozzles from dried ink
My almost a decade old HP Deskjet 4515 Ink advantage is extremely resilient against cartridge clogs. In standard mode, its printing pattern tolerates clogged lines so well, so that you can't see any print quality degradation unless you get a "print quality report".
Moreover, a couple of cleaning runs unclogs all the nozzles 99% of the time, even after 6 months of hiatus.
I never replaced a cartridge because of a clog since I bought that thing. It also routinely underestimates cartridge life. Currently it claims the black cartridge is empty, but it's printing with the quality of a new cartridge.
None of my HP Printers (4515, 5150, 500C and another entry level AIO) never let me down in the cartridge department, even after long idle periods. That entry level AIO just worn out internally, I gave others away because I was upgrading. 4515 is my current workhorse.
The only printer which had cartridge clogging problems was my Canon BJC4300. That thing made me decide to buy nothing but HP only.
