RE: New 1280 and UT ink

2003-10-17 by Jerry in Houston

I think this is a related question.  I have been using the Epson OEM and an inexpensive aftermarket ink in my 1280.  My main papers are Epson EEM and Velver Fine Art.  I have also used Satine as a kind of proof paper.  I do my B/W work using a black only workflow discussed here earlier in the year and I am pretty please with it.  I do not now have the resources to make a full switch to a hextone or CFS sytem so for now Black Only will have to be my method of choice.   My question is this; there are numerous replacement cartridges for my OEM black and I was wondering if I could improve my output by substituting another black (UT, Museo, Eboni, etc...)  I do my routine text printing on a C80 so I can afford to specialize a bit with the black in my 1280. I would appreciate any suggestions and/or pitfalls to this approach.
