Using 1290 Driver for 1280 & MIS VM

2003-03-06 by Paul Roark

Is there a consensus as to whether the 1290 driver and VM curves work well
with the 1280 printer and MIS VM inkset?

I have always heard that the 1280 and 1290 are mechanically identical
(except that the 1280 uses the U.S. plug/voltage and the 1290 the European
standard).

In writing the curves, the 1290 printer and curves performed very well.  So,
I've felt that driver and those curves might be further options that are
available to 1280 owners.

(I use the 7000 driver with my 7500.  All it took was going to the Epson
download site and installing the driver.  The driver installed, found the
appropriate printer, and didn't affect the existing driver.  The Status
Monitor doesn't work, but that is not significant.  I check the ink level
occasionally with the 7500 driver.)
