Norm,

I have converted my 1280 to using the MIS CF system with Eboni Ink.
Bob Michaels turned me on to the cheap $5 color carts from MIS to
occupy the color position. I set up a page on my site at
http://www.jimarnold.org/1280/ detailing what I've learned. The
biggest tip so far has come courtesy of Nick Nugent on this list. He 
advocated keeping the ink level in your ink bottle(s) at the same
level as the print head. Once I started doing this clogs are virtually
a thing of the past. 

For a very nominal investment you can be BO printing on your 1280 with
a CF system that makes for a very inexpensive way to print.

With BO printing the paper you print to largely determines the tone of
your print from warm to neutral to cool. 

Cheers,
Jim
