Greg,

The UT FS inkset will run in a 1270.  See http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/1270-FS-Readme.htm

That said, the 1270-80 were not noted for their reliability with pigment inks. Some had good luck.  Mine ran for a while, but they were not close to the reliability of modern printers.  So, if you can get one for free or close to it that runs and if you can get good carts, then the inks should work.

Overall, I'm not sure it's worth messing with printers this old. The new ones are so much better, and some that work well are also rather inexpensive.
