I would not attempt to use a printer that is not specifically supported for
the inkset you want.

  Unfortunately, they do not appear to be the same.  UT2 & the 1280 curves
do

  not work quite right on the 1290.  So, some adjustments will need to be
made

  by 1290 users.



  PermaJet is going to be selling a variant of the inkset called the New VT

  Blax that they will optimize for the 1290.



  >Are the prints better with UT-7 than with UT-2? 



  They are about the same.  The UT7 was just needed because the
pigment-based

  printers use different assumptions about the ink gamuts than the dye

  printers (because the dye and pigment gamuts are different).



  >What is the difference in term of quality ?



  I think the quality of prints from my 1280 and 2200 is very close.  (With

  the 1280/90 you'll have to remove the pizza wheels to avoid marks on gloss

  papers.)  I generally find the newer the printer the better.  The 2200 is

  faster.  The individual carts may be an advantage.  I'm told continuous
flow

  systems work very well with the 2200.
