1160 and UT(2)?

2006-09-08 by Steve Taylor

I have an old 1160 lying around, and some UT2 ink I used to have in a
1290 (1280 USA). I found the UT2 in the 1290 produced very good
results, but was very unreliable (clogs all over the place). Finally
it became unusable, and I have since put colour dye inks in the 1280
which work fine, but the UT2 instantly clogs up every time I use it.

I now use a c86 with a combination of EZN and EZW and an r220 and UT3D
currently with great success, in terms of result quality,
controllability and reliability.

What I am interested in is the similarity between UT and UT2, as I
thought I might be able to re-use some of my UT2 inks in the old 1160
so I could print big again! I understand the 1160s are very reliable
using pig inks. I guessed that I might be able to throw away the LC
and LM inks of UT2 and try the others in the 1160. However this is a
total guess so I would appreciate any info on how UT relates to UT2,
i.e. if any of the inks are the same.

Thanks in advance
