Are there any curves for Paul Roarks MIS variable inks 6 color  on a 1280 for this paper.  I 
thought I saw some but can't remember where.

I have a 1270 loaded with MediaStreet dye ink and a CFS. Nozzle checks
are perfect and will print letter size perfectly. Soon as I try 13 x
19", I get some nozzles dropping out. Specifically, black and cyan. The
nozzle check will sometimes show some black ink lines mixed in with the
cyan line position when this happens. (cartridge problem?) I have
already wrecked 5 13x19's this way. Soon as it happens, I run a nozzle
check and usually one cleaning cycle will do it for a perfect nozzle
check. I can then print letter size with no problem, but then 13x19"
turns up the problem again. I tried raising the bottles a little, but
this gave me another problem of ink blotches, so I put them back down. I
am beginning to think that the CFS is to blame and for some reason can't
keep up the inkflow with the larger papers being printed. Anyone have
something similar happen?

This has happened to me on my 2000p with CIS - only when printing on
rolls of paper. (And then only two-thirds of the way through a 13x44 -
DOH) Sure is frustrating!! I have no solution. :(

How old is your CIS?  If it's more than a year or so, you may have a 
clogged cart(s).  I had problems similar to this and replacing the CIS 
carts solved it.  It seems that the lines and/or the carts can get clogged 
due to evaporation of the black vehicle from the ink.  Nozzle checks can be 
fine, since they have very low ink demand, but printing a 13X19 is a much 
higher demand on ink flow than printing test or a letter size image.  To 
test for ink starvation, print a solid black sheet (letter size will do) at 
*high speed*.  If it begins to show white lines halfway through the sheet, 
you've found your problem.

hope this helps,

Peter

Sorry. Don't know what happened with the first post. Something strange
happening at Yahoo.

Anyway,
