Jerry, I have just installed the Black & White Ultra Tones in 1280 system last night. I did not use a CIS system for this, as I wanted to try the ink in cartridges first. I filled them last night, ran a test purge print, and got banding on half of the six stripes. I let the cartridges sit overnight, and before I left for work tried it again. I still got banding, but now it is on all the stripes. I am that concerned as this was similar to the banding I was getting when I was running a CIS (Niagara G4 ink) on the 1280 prior. In the end, the ink settled when I left it alone for about a week (as prior posts have indicated), ran a couple of cleaning/nozzle checks, and everything was fine from that point forwards with a few nozzle checks when I didn't use the printer for awhile. Perhaps, I am jumping the gun with this inkset that it shows great promise, but I am very hopeful that this new ink(at least for me) set will work out well. Eileen
