I've never tested a C120.  At least some of its specifications do 
look very similar to the C88+.  

The speed of the 120 probably comes from more nozzles devoted to 
black ink.  Uses 2 black channels.  I hope this second black is from 
a larger black head and does not take away from the colors.  

The Epson America website characterizes the C88 as 
having, "Monochrome head 180 nozzles, Color head 59 nozzles x 3 
(CMY)."  I do not see similar information on the C120.  Does the C120 
have more nozzles, and if not, has color quality been sacrificed?

The bottom line is that I do not know enough about the C120 to say 
how well the C 13-5 approach would work.
