Hello my name is Terry as well, [ Terrence] Australia, I also have a Pro 1000, and have also just disenabled my auto nozzel clean as well, will see what happens, I do however print a lot on a regular scale , greeting cards 20- 60 a month or min 5 per every 2 days and so on,, I had a look at the other canon printers thinking I could do better, on less expensive inks, but when I divided those tanks into the Pro 1000 tanks ie their 7 or 10 mg their cost [plus minus 20$ a tank against 60$ a tank ] into the 80mg , any other printer would have been very much more expensive, and they also have cleaning procedures etc , the Pro 1000 is cheaper to run,,and any way leaving any printer for an extended time will or can result in a clogged head, I make a habit of doing my best at printing even if it is only a nozzel check evety 50 hours , I have just printed 1500 cards since Jan 2019 no clogging, only I do not like the auto clean, so that is why I have just disenabled it and will now see what happens, BUT in saying all this , the amount of printing I do , I should not get a clogged nozzel , yes this is the best Printer Canon has produced in my opinion, when it says ink low 10% I change it, it could be less than 10% as the notice is aprox 10% so do not take the chance, the head is more than a ink tank, my opinion you wil only be totally thrilled with it , the photos are superb to say the least. Regards Terry
