I've been using the new clear spongeless carts on a 1280 without problems, however, they did require a little "tuning." Careful examination showed that the label on the color cart extended just slightly over the filling holes, perhaps 1-2 mm. I was concerned that this might prevent a good seal with the very tiny plugs, and I knew that a poor seal would allow the ink to drain. The solution was some careful work with my handy x-acto knife, carefully trimming away that portion of the label that extended over the hole. Some caution is required to ensure you cut away all the label but neither damage the edge of the hole or nor damage the rest of the label. (I hope quality control improves on these carts so I don't have to do this again.)
