My Epson R200 clogs up after not being used for weeks. How can I unclog
the printhead? I think this is the last inkjet. No more. I am
interrested in advice on good quality compatible ink, just so to use up
my paper supply. Thanks.

Have you tried the deep cleaning cycle a couple of times? What have you
done to fix the problem?

Epson's must not be left on all the time and Never powered off at the Wall and
need to be turned on once a week..

Also not used in a Hot room..

The Ink when installed must be used in 6 months, Epson statement...

Usually, it caused by a failing Printhead assembly or Mainboard
Assembly.

It is also possible the build-up of dried ink, and that can cause a
colored line to appear.
