UT-C = UT2-M (standard dark carbon midtone).
The Eboni black is the same in both.
At the light end, the inks are different. UT(1) toner (Y-position in the
1160) was very light so that it could be used in the old 3000. The UT2
light toner (LC) could, however, probably be used and look about as smooth
as it did in the 1280/90. The 1160 has a modern variable dot at least for
the midtone inks. You'd need to make new curves.
The light carbon is also different. Again, the UT1 inkset used a very light
carbon, but the UT2 light carbon (LM) could be used (with new curves).

It's the old 1280/90 mystery. Some work great for years, others not. I
think they must have used a somewhat different screen in the heads than the
other printers. The 1280/90 seems to be the only printer that exhibits this
characteristic.

We really need a 13" printer like the old 1280 to fill the gap in
affordable, reliable printing. I'm actually considering getting one and
seeing if I can figure out how to keep the thing running right.
