Digital BW, The Print

>I am ready to switch to MIS U7 for my 2200. 

 

>(1) Can I use both Eboni Bk and Pk ... at 

>the same time, so I can print on both matte and 

>semi-gloss or equivalent without switching ink?

 

The way I set it up at http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/UT-2200-Readme.htm ,
the system can print on glossy papers with Eboni installed by using the dark
gray inks to generate the black.  

 

>(2) To switch back to Epson OEM for color printing, do I need to do 

>anything special to clear out the MIS inks or vice versa? I do about 

>50/50 printing (color mainly for family pics) but tend to do them in 

>batches.

 

You don't need to use cleaning fluid between inks, but it's possible you'd
save money if you did.  It takes a few cleaning cycles or several purge
pages to eliminate the residual color or B&W inks from the head.  The less
of this you have to do with expensive OEM inks, the better.

 

>(3) Is the 1280 a good printer to dedicate to one or the other 

>with MIS inks? Which?

 

It has a spotty record with respect to clogging with third party pigmented
inks.  Many have used it successfully for years, others not.  My 1280s did
not live as long as the more recent Epson printers.
