The problem of Ink clogging isn't related to the cartridge, it's related
to the priming "pump" inside the DJ.

There is a tube that gets "squeezed" along  directly under the priming
port every time the DJ gets turned on. 

My fear is that this tube will get clogged up and cease to function, causing 
my printer to not clean & prime correctly each time I turn it on.

(I was recently given an HP technical document on the development of
the HP DeskJet.  VERY interesting reading.)
