Epson's are very prone to print head clogging. I frequently have to run a
head cleaning and even with that I usually end up blowing canned air
through the nozzle to clear it. the head cleaning wastes a lot of ink.
But I keep my Photo 820 because it does a pretty good job of printing
photos under eCS with the EPOMNI3 driver.
