Re: [Digital BW] Re: Is the 1280 still a viable solution?

2006-06-22 by Rem P Roberti

I got my 1280 on eBay in great condition for $150.  I'm using the UT2 
inkset, but printing almost exclusively BO with Eboni and Moab Kayenta 
(a terrific combo).  The problem with pigment clogging is well 
documented but overblown.  With the MIS inks installed I have had to do 
2 or 3 head cleanings in succession on occasion (not every time) to get 
a perfect nozzle check, but that is something you just have to learn to 
live with.  If you have the resources a 2400 is without a doubt the way 
to go, but for $150 I am so far a very satisfied user.

Cheers,

Rem
