I understand that Epson recommends printing with the ET-5170 at least every couple of weeks to prevent clogged print nozzles. If that's correct, is it necessary to print in multiple colors each time or just printing black text each time is adequate? null

Hi PrinterGirl, If you are printing to keep ink from drying around the nozzles to prevent potential clogs you should print using color and black. A nozzles check uses all the colors so it is a convenient way to do a biweekly print. Regards, Mark - The Epson Team.
