If you want to use the 1280 with color inks then you are probably
going to need a RIP to get good BW.  QTR is very capable and
inexpensive and very popular.  Here's a web site for information

There is also a forum like this for it but I don't have the URL. 
Maybe someone else can provide that...   Good luck with it.
