Not sure if the 2200 is any different. Anyone?

I haven't heard of any problems with this with dye sub printers, but I don't know for sure. I've been doing small prints on a Fuji Frontier and large prints at a lab on an Epson 9600. I'm going to try Mpix.com next, they're the online division of a highly-respected pro lab and have been quick to send samples.
I am not 100% sure about all the technology involved in dye sub but as I understand it, their "print head" actually are heating elements who heat wax without directly touching it. It appears that Kodak suggest to clean the heads every once in a while but it seems that they can't clog or cause the print quality to decrease over time.

Then again, anyone feel free to correct me if I am wrong but this is my understanding of dye sublimation printers.
