Does anyone know if the new Epson 1280 will be using the same troublesome
inks as the 1270? My gf wants a 1280 for her birthday next month. I
hesitate on that brand/model knowing the ink problems.

We have given up on producing ICC and ICM profiles for the EPSON 1270
printer! We spent many months producing profiles, and re-measuring them,
and adjusting, and re-adjusting, and re-doing the whole process over and
over again. The culprit that foiled our attempts is the new EPSON ink. The
EPSON 1270 inks have a tendency to shift over multiple periods of time.
This phenomena (described as ozone fading) has been noticed by many people
on the new EPSON papers. However, we use a Gretag Spectroscan to measure our
profile targets and it is plainly evident that this color shifting occurs in
varying degrees on all the various papers that we profile. The end result is
that the profiles for this printer are only accurate based upon the time
elapsed between printing of the target and the measuring of the target; a
useless proposition!
