Bernd, I don't think that's the reason.

I installed my CIS on my 1280 after I used the Original Epson inks in the
1280 all up. The light came on, indicating the cartridge was empty. I don't
remember if it was the color or Black cartridge that was empty. I'm not even
sure how you'd tell, as there is only 1 ink indicator on the 1280. Soon as
the light came on, I put the CIS in I've gone through an entire CIS inkset
with no problems yet.
