I read somewhere (I think it was here) that ink-jet printers do not like to be left idle for days at a time, as the ink jets get clogged if ink does not flow regularly. Since my printer needs only require intermittent use, I see this as a big down-side to ink jets. Are dye-sub printers free of this down-side? Do you find other similar down-sides? Thanks for a good run-down.

  I've had the same "head clogging" problem with inkjets, which means a few more minutes spent unclogging them before I can make my simple snapshot.
  
  The dye subs use colored "ribbons" instead that are much less prone to clogging. Another plus!
