Frank, I'd recommend your using Eboni and trying your BO prints. Once
you have that working you could go on to Paul's 3MK and/or the Eboni
hex or quad set he's come up with. You don't have to change anything
but the one ink to start. You would want to remove all of the other
inks and substitute cleaning solution for  them./// DO be sure,repeat
sure to fully flush your machine  with a cleaning solution before
running any of the recent inks like Eboni in it. That includes
cleaning the cap station thoroughly as well. The dyes are incompatible
with Eboni.///

Clayton is right. The 1200 will run nearly anything if treated properly.

Regards
Duane
