RE: [Digital BW] New 1280 and UT ink

2003-10-17 by D. Hill

Matt,

I recently purchased a new 1280 and had the same
question.  I had previously tried eboni with my used
1160 which provided me the opportuinity to experience
the dreaded eboni dye/pigment instant printer death.

That being said - I primed my 1280 with Selenium
Piezotone with Museum Black and haven't had one
problem.  Actally, I've had very little problems by
doing this, very few cleaning cycles are ever needed -
exept when changing cartridges.

Good luck,
Don
