I don't use the quads on a 1270, so I could be off base here, but I think
the 1270 has an option on the advanced section of the Epson driver where you
can choose between two or three gammas. Selecting another gamma there might
align your 1270 prints closer to your 1160.

If you give it a try let me know how it goes. I have a suspicion or two
about that gamma control...
