Yes---HHC is working well. I contacted HHC also to check on licensing---good support. I was told as a single-user, I could use one license to run all my (compatible version) Epson printers. I have a dedicated laptop that I leave on for HHC for the 9890; I can plug in the other printers as needed, e.g., vacation. I still think that maintaining consistent humidity levels is the most important thing, at least for the Epson printers. My thoughts on HHC is that the regular nozzle checks (on printers not being used as frequently) helps keep ink moving a little and keeps the capping station moist.
My humidity zone is 40-60% and tends to hover naturally in the studio at 55-60%. No problems at all with my printers and HHC, though I think that HHC is more just a little more added thought/convenience on top of monitoring humidity levels which is more important.
