I can't provide any specifics since I never used a 1280, but the
principles are the same.  The basic concept or goal of the approach is
changing the monitor image to match the print to achieve good WYSIWYG,
not the other way around.  The rest of all the specifics in the
article is focused on the relationship between the image profile, the
printer profile and the gamma setting, and how they work together to
accomplish the goal.  I think if these basic concepts are grasped it's
relatively easy to apply them to any Epson printer that has the BO
option.  Sorry I can't be more specific than that.

Regards,
Clayton
