I don't know if there would be any issues switching brands in the printer. Maybe someone has done it.

There used to be issues with switching from Sawgrass to ArTainium ink.
The differences in ink would require that systyem be purged with a cleaning solution.
Now that both brands of ink are under the Sawgrass umbrella, I don't know if there have been substantial changes in the formula of either ink.
Having said that, I doubt there would be issues in switching from ArTainium to Sawgrass ink.

Hi David,
It is still not recommeded to mix the inks, however there are other factors in play in this case. Since it is a 1280, you would need a new bulk system, and all new inks. The 1280 has been discontinued, and they are no longer available from Epson new. I would be leary to invest the money for a bulk system and new inks, when if something happens to the printer several months down the road, you may not be able to get a replacement. I would look seriously at an upgrade printer at this point. You would also get into a printer that functions much better than the 1280.
