Hi Brandi, I have a Canon and it has never given me a days problem.
They do advise you print something every week so that it does not clog up, but I have gone many weeks without printing and it is still fine.
When i first got it I used reusable edible ink cartridges but the colour wasn’t the best.
Now I use throw normal cartridges and the colour is perfect. X
