warren_zitlau Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Assumption: dye is molecular, pigment is particle, which is more likely to clog with intermitent use, 13x19 printers, Epsom, Canon, HP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven_clark Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Using the same print head I'd say pigment. However you AREN'T using the same printhead and clogging really varies from model to model as much as from ink to ink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Ingold Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 My 2200 (pigment ink) is far less prone to clogging than my 1270 (dye ink). The only time even one nozzle clogged in my 2200 was after over 6 weeks of disuse, and cleared with one cleaning cycle. The 1270 would clog within a week, and half the time required a change of cartridge(s) to clear. Perhaps the fluid in dye ink contains a binder, and the residue is gummy, whereas the fluid in pigment ink is simply a carrier with dispersent.
