Hi Tom,

In general, it seems most users have pretty good luck with them.  My
1280 was used (I now suspect pretty heavily) with dye inks before I
acquired it and switched it over to UT2; from anecdotal evidence, it
seems that heavy dye usage may sometimes prove problematic.  Or not.

I didn't mean to imply that many others had encountered troubles with
that setup; if your experience is more typical, the spongeless setup
should function with minimal issues - the carts are really easy to
use, and it is a cost-effective solution that produces beautiful
prints when it works correctly.

(I took another shot at cleaning it as thoroughly as I dared this
weekend; I may give it another shot yet.  At least I can now use dye
inks again!)

Best wishes - 
Eric
