What black ink are you using for BO printing in the 1280? If you are using
the stock Epson dye that could be why. You get a better dmax with more
"transparency" with Epson dye black. The only tradeoff may be, assuming you
prefer the tonality of the BO, is lower life expectancy. Of your prints,
that is.
