Hate to say it but you're just experiencing pretty much any inkjet
printers achilles heel. No matter what brand you use you'll find that
non-use does tend to cause blockages over time.

Personally, it does sound like a low cost colour laser would suit but
in fairness for the same cost penalty it'd be worth considering the
alternative of instalingl the print scheduler utility from MIS for
printing off a purge pattern once every two days or so..

After all, I'd hazzard a guess that printing a purge *** every one
or two days actually uses less ink than all the cleaning cycles you
need to run after non-use.

OR.. you can get into the practice of sending more stuff to the
printer every few days.

No easy answers but unless you get into the habit of keeping an inkjet
exercised it'll die :-/
