Re: Epson 1280 and UT2 Inks

2006-05-02 by Michael Hung

The UT2 ink is great. I use UT2+Glop with Paul's curves these days.
But as other have said it clogs if you don't use the printer often (It
may take a night to clear the clogs so be prepared if you have urgent
prints to do). 

Other than that.. the 1280's VERY SLOW by today's standard.

Personally, had I not bought a R800 just before the 2400 came out, I
would get the 2400/4800 instead. The new printers are much faster,
inks are much easier to get (MIS's good, but I am not in US and the
ink has to go thru customs everytime), and you save space by having
just 1 printer.
