A coworker has the newer Epson C80 printer, it uses5 or 6 ink cartridges and produces very nice prints. In the few months we have had it, I haven't noticed any clogging or banding problems with it, and he uses it very frequently as it is one of our proofing printers at work. I have an 880 that gets used ad a moderate frequency, and haven't had any clogging problems with it either.
On the other hand, we have an 870 (or 875) that seems to always be clogged.
Another printer you might want to check out is the new Canon 9000. I have heard from a few people that they are very happy with that printer. I can't speak personally about it as I have never used one, but my first color printer was a Canon, in fact it was one of the first good quality color printers for the consumer market, and at the time it was very good. (I have since realized that my cat can draw better than it printed...but heck, it was 10+ years ago!)
