Best inkset for Epson 1290?

2008-08-28 by neil0968

Hi everyone,

I have searched this topic on the group before asking this question and 
have found some answers. My question really is which inkset would be 
best suited to an Epson 1290 (I think the US equivalent is 1280?). My 
concerns are really about clogging the nozzles which has been a problem 
on my printer, even with OEM inks, well especially with OEM inks.

I would really like to go down the Carbon 6 route, mainly due to cost 
and and also having the satisifaction of mixing my own inks (if that 
makes sense). I'm just worried about clogged nozzles.

Would I be better off buying an off the shelf inkset?

Many thanks in advance for your help,

Neil (United Kingdom)
