Digital BW, The Print

I've loved my trial experience with my C84 and UT-EZ inks (well...at 
least with the matte papers). Now I want to do the same in a larger 
format. This seemed to point directly to the 1280, where I could branch 
out a little into simple toning, or default to the sliders if I didn't 
want to mess with it.

Now I read (and recall reading previously over the years) all the 
horror stories about the 1280, clogs from hell, dye printers maybe not 
being the best for pigs, etc. I don't have the time or patience to 
fiddle with a fussy printer every day. I'm a knowledgeable Photoshop 
user, but would prefer a more intuitive solution than transfer curves.

So is it still possible to get relatively painless 13x19-ish black & 
white using the Epson driver and UT inks? In an ideal world, they'd 
match the output from my C84 with EZ-N so I could continue to use and 
sell both seamlessly.

TIA,
Doug
