You can run a power clean cycle which should help, then just replace the foam pads they saturate with ink for the cleaning

They're not perfect but they're still the most consumer friendly option on the market at this point

Yeah, that's true. That was a pain in the ass when my wife needed good color accuracy.

This. My partner’s office is stuck with “it has to be inkjet and not toner", and on January their printer got clogged…

I have the 2850. Been using it for a couple years now. Print maybe once a month. Nozzles get clogged periodically but you run the automated cleaning process and it's back to working again.

I don't print that often but I do have a calendar event to tell me to print something monthly. This could be a nice side project for someone to write a program that sends a print to your printer on a schedule to keep the heads clear. Wastes paper but at least the heads won't dry out.

I have a color canon laser printer scanner.
