Printer feature feedback

Your review of an Epson printer (AP 3 March) reminded me of my experience with my Epson P600 compared with my general use Brother printer/scanner. If the Brother has a blocked nozzle (very rare) the nozzle clean function asks which colour hasn't printed correctly and then cleans only that colour's nozzle, thereby avoiding wasting the other three inks.

The P600 purges all eight colours even if only one nozzle is blocked. I think is another Epson trick to make more money. I can see no reason why Epson, who now claim to be environmentally aware, could not do the same as ‘little' Brother and issue a firmware update to correct this
