Yes.

The carbon inks are the same, but the cooled "toner" inks are different
blends.  The positions of the toner and carbon inks were swapped.

the 1280 and use just the 2200.

The UT7 LK is not a pure carbon LK.  It has been neutralized a bit.  One
of the problems with K2 and K3 printers and the variable tone inksets is
that the gray substitution of the Epson driver interferes with the tone
controls via PS curves.  You'll notice I never bothered with a K3
variable tone like the UT7.  The Y=EZ-Warm was it.
