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
