I purchased the pizography system with an Epson 3000 in October and have had no clogging at all. I haven't even had to clean the heads once. Maybe I'm just lucky or maybe the later Quad blacks were a bit better. Who knows? All I know is I love piezography and doubt I'll ever go back to wet. Now for a coolscan 8000.
