I bought an Epson R200 printer about a year ago for £30 (ex display)and put cheapy cartridges in it, after doing 1 photo the yellow became blocked, since then I just stuck it back in the cupboard where its been for the last year or so. Now more than the yellow are blocked up. I would like to know this. If i get hold of an epson r200 cleaning cartridge, will I need 6 as there is 6 ink cartridges or can I get away with 1 cleaner and use that in each ink compartment? cheers.

Have you tried just running the clean print head utility? FYI if you don't know, Epsons have the print head separate (including the R200) so that's usually what clogs up, not the cartridge... Furthermore, make sure you are printing at least once every other week with colors (maybe a head alignment test if nothing else) to make sure this doesn't keep happening... If all else fails use alcohol on a soft cloth...
