I am going to retire my 1280, fitted with an MIS UT2
CIS, due to persistant striping probably due to a
printhead failure.  I see that the Stylus Photo 900
uses the same ink set as the 1280, so my question is,
has anyone used a 1280 UT2 CIS in a 900?  What was
your experience?  Has anyone used this CIS in any
other Epson printer?

Jerry,

I have just installed MIS UT Full Spectrum inks with Eboni black in the new CMCMY 
configuration in my Stylus Photo 900.  Using Paul's curves, the prints are quite stunning on 
any matte papers that I have thrown at it.  As these inks and curves are specifically for the 
1280, I can only assume that your inks will work in a similar fashion.

Since the 900 uses the same inks as the 1280, you get the larger capacity color cartridge 
with the small format printer.  Also, they are going for a steal online, but I purchased mine 
from Arditios as a close out for 109 (new).
