I'd have to agree with Bob.  I've been having clogs on my 1280 with 
UT ink and can't seem to get past them.  If I put Epson Color Carts 
in everything is fine.  I've been refilling using the MIS bottom fill 
carts and I think that's the problem.  There must be bubbles in the 
carts when I'm done as sometimes a color is completely blocked off.  
In the next day or two I'll be trying some top fill carts from Media 
Street so we'll see if that makes any difference.
