Re: [Digital BW] HELP printing Black & White on epson 1280 printer

2008-05-30 by Eddie Wiseman

Hi Anthony..

Unfortunately B&W on a 1280 with OEM Epson Inks wiil NOT produce a decent black and white..Same applies to any of their older dye-based printers.....However if you are willing to dedidacte this machine to doing B&W ONLY, MIS associates has the answer with a set of variable tone black inks called 'UT-2"..I've been using them for about 3 years with their refillable  spongeless cartridges which may oar may not be currently available..Your BEST bet is to get a new or re-furbished Epson model 2400 which will do color or B&W VERY nicely, with the least amount of effort on your part..
