Digital BW, The Print

I have read and heard the same issues with clogging.  I own a 1270, so maybe
they are more reliable than the 1280's.  I have not had the same experience
with the clogs.  I love my 1270 with the MIS UT2 inks.   Maybe I am just
lucky.  But from my perspective where I am a starving artist, I prefer to
save the cash as long as I have a workable solution.

Just one person's opinion...

Thanks,


George

Subject: [Digital BW] Re: B&W prints with epson 1280/1290 ?

Hi,
 I had tried HARD making B&W prints with MIS inks on my 1280. The
heads were constantly clogging up on me even when I just did Black
Only (BO) printing. I did get a few good prints but it was not worth
the effort.
 At the advice of some of the more knowledgeable folks here, I have
dedicated a 2400 to B&W prints and an Epson 220 to BO prints with MIS
inks. (No more clogging)
 In short, I'd not recommend the 1280/90 for B&W if you want to use
any inks other than Epson.
 Best
 Howard
