The clogging issue has more to do with avoiding Canon patents.  Canon and HP
use intense heat at the print head that actually boils the ink creating a
bubble that pushes the ink out, hence the term bubble jet.  Epson uses
Piezography or a low voltage current to push the ink out.  One is far more
powerful and rarely clogs the other will clog frequently requiring using a
lot of ink to keep unclogged.
