I mean yeah, most systems with a reservoir are going to use some kind of feed tubes to get the ink to the print head, and tubes just clog; basically, they only have 2 states of existence and one of them is “clogged”. If you do very regular printing, like a full color page at least twice a week, then they aren’t going to clog, but very few people actually print that often.

Truth be told, I’m just done with inkjet printing all together. At this point I can’t recommend anything but a laser printer, you tend to pay more up front, but then it actually works and it keeps working for a decade or more.
