Re: Epson 1280: New liquid diet, or the landfill?

2007-07-06 by Philip Schwartz

my advice: dump the 1280. I have run a few different MIS ink sets in a
couple of R200's including UT-R2, and they make prints of outstanding
quality. My 1280 was slow and unreliable compared to the R200, so the
last time it quit printing I just tossed it. 

If you are really adventurous you can use MIS ink in an R800/R1800
with QTR. With 1.5 picoliter droplets tones are very smooth and there
are no dots visible in the highlights even using a 10x loupe.
