Ink-jet printers are like house plants. If you don't feed some fluid through them every week, they dry up and die. I prefer printers with a cleaning cycle, and refill my own ink tanks to keep costs down. Recently, I pumped $20 worth of ink through an Epson 900, trying to clean it again, but that wasn't the problem, so I bought an 880 model, used, for $10. It is slower, but the colour is much closer without tedious adjustment.
