nonsense.


Canon gave a substantial grant to an educational organization. A lot of
the grant money was used to purchase thirty Epson printers. It's not
hard to figure out why.


most canon printers have the heads in the ink cartridge, which gets
replaced every time the ink is replaced.

even if the heads did burn out, it's easy to fix. replace the ink.

epson heads *will* burn out if the clean cycle is run too many times in
a row.

Epson use piezoelectric technology in their ink printer heads, they do not get
hot. Epson printheads are far more likely to clog because of the very tiny
nozzles. Long cleaning cycles can be necessary to recover clogged heads.The
upside is generally superior print quality resulting from their technology.
