dying 1280 printer

2006-11-07 by mmrroott

Hi,

I have been using a 1280 with the UT2 inset. My printer has the 
problem in that the LM head is not longer working after repeated 
cleaning. I even injected the MIS cleaner through that nozzile but 
it did not help. The printer was repaired less then a year ago with 
a similar problem which turned out to be electrical. I don'tthink it 
is worth sending out for repairs again. I can pick up a very lightly 
used 2200 for a good price. What is the difference between the UT2 
and UT7 inks? Can I still use my inks (I just bought some so have a 
lot left). Is the 2200 a good printer to work with? will there ever 
be spongless carts for it?  My other option is to wait for the 3800, 
use it for awhile as is until there are 3rd party inks and carts for 
it. Find it hard to justify the new price for a 2400.

Mike
