Digital BW, The Print

Hallo felow digital eyes,


I would like to ask other users of Epson 1290 usíng Pauls VM-inks 
with the Epson 1280 drivers.
I have three 1290's the one I drive with the 1280 driver went down 
and was replaced on warranty.

(The others is used for MSI-dyeink the third for MSI-archival inks)

So far I'm very happy with them. Using Pentax 35 mm and Hasselblad + 
a Minolta Dual Scan Multi Pro. Just for hobby - I'm over 55 now but 
have been photographing since I was 11 years old - can't sell - I 
give away for museums and friends - just for the fun.

However still have my "wet" darkroom running - there are some other 
qualities there - but I'm impressed and happy with the "coca-cola" - 
hamburger way of sitting in front of my screens making 
great "photoes" or prints whatever you call it.
Is it a photo not on silver????

Ok let's say it is pictures - wonderfull such. Soon this era will be 
over but museums etc here are ´very suspsius about "pizo"-pictures.

But that was not the point - it was the 1290 with 1280 drivers.
Are there others that have problems?? This problem may not be related 
to the 1280 driver - I hope!

How is it going for You using the 1280 driver. Have noticed that it's
best without the "Epson printer Monitor" - also it's sad to have a 
partition for Win 98SE to drive that VM-inks.

Has someone used it in WIN XP?

Would like Your opinion in this matter.

Best regards
