The 870/1270 vm "NCA" curves are probably the best curves for the UT inkset
and the 1270.  I have not made UT-specific curves for the 1270.  The old vm
and new UT inksets use the same densities.  I found on my 1160 the old
curves worked quite well.  The UT inkset was designed so that the "nc" curve
would produce a neutral print with a slight "selenium" bias.

Let us know what curves work the best on the 1270.  There are older 1270
curves out there also.  I have not heard whether the 1280 UT curves work on
the 1270.  In general, the curves only work well with the driver they were
designed for.
