Tom,

I've been using a 1280 with VM inks with a CIS (nomorecarts) for 
about a year and a half.

I developed a clog about two weeks ago that wouldn't clear. 
Nothing worked (windex, ammonia, under the heads, syringed 
into the nozzle... I assume now it was something other than a 
physical clog. 

Anyway, that was after a lot of prints. Rough repair estimate: 
250.00 to 300.00. I bought a new 1280 and plan to use VM in 
pre-filled carts until the new ink becomes available from MIS...

For what it's worth,

Jeff
