The Canon head is usually referred to as a semi-permanent head, in that
it lasts several or even many cartridges. It is not a regular consumable, and it's cost is an indication of that, however, it will eventually fail, as the nature of thermal heads is to break down over time with use. Epson heads should, at least in theory, last for the life of the printer. Some do fail due to what I believe to be a design flaw. That majority will give you many years of printing, although they may require cleaning to keep them from clogging.

The Canon head is not "permanent" and can be replaced in less than a minute. It is a simple "lift out" proceedure. |
