The fact of the matter is that I received an order of a complete set of bulk Ultratone inks for the 1280 just before the printer died. After some checking with the folks on the Yahoo Digital B&W list, I then obtained some empty chipped MIS cartridges, filled them with the appropriate inks, and loaded them into the printer. Basically, I was a little too "thrifty" to let those inks go to waste. What I like about this set-up is that life is less cluttered with only one printer.
