Yes.  It's a compromise that has almost no impact on tone.  As Roy recently
noted: "The paper tone naturally has a big effect at the light end."

Use the inkset that was made for the printer.  For the 1280, the UT2 is it.
Just substitute UT-FS-Y for the sepia in the Y position.  I'd guess the WTR
users already have curves for the UT2, and since the Sepia is not used for
non-sepia tones, its lack should not have any impact of the curve's
performance.  Ditto for my Photoshop curves for the UT2 and 1280.  

I'm going to put the Ut2 on the R200 to start.  I'll move from that base to
my next idea.  Who knows where I'll end up.

How one controls the inkset probably won't matter -- The more ways the
better.  

Good luck.

Paul
