How long can an R2000 sit between uses?

[slackercruster]

I have a R2000. Can it sit 4 or 5 weeks bewteen uses or will the heads clog up? If so, what is a safe amount of non use?

The combined wisdom is to run at least a nozzle check once a week to help keep the heads clog free. Or you can just run off a test print on copy paper. More important on pigment ink printers.

Is the R2000 a pigmnet ink printer? If not, are pigment ink printers a better printer to get for high quailty photos?

Dye inks typically have a much wider color gaumet, and are more vibrant, although they are less resistant to fading.

That said, both pigment and dye inks are improving every day...

Yes the R2000 is a pigment ink printer & as Wayne said the pigments don't fade as quick as dye inks. Most photographers use pigment ink printers so their prints last longer but dye prints look more vibrant even though the gap is closing they say.
