1290 printer + 1280 driver + UT2 = success!

2004-03-27 by scrber

Just to let you know, I have now re-installed the driver on one of 
my 1290 printers with the US 1280 version.

The prints using UT2 are much better than with the 1290 driver.  I 
guess the mechanics of the printers are very similar and just the 
software alogithms differ.

Compared to my numerous attempts with VM inks using 1280 and 1290 
curves, the UT1 inks and 1280 curves, UT2 inks with 1280 curves - I 
am now getting cleaner, bronzing free and smooth prints.

It is a very easy process and I would recommend any of the 1290 
users to give it a go (you can switch back to the 1290 driver in the 
printer settings at any time...)
