Pigment ink is more waterproof than dye ink, but the 1280 uses their
photographic pigment inks, and not the 'acrylic enamel' type in the
DuraBrite printers. It may not be as waterproof, and will dry slower,
but will be more water resistant than the R220 ink. It's also probably
less likely to clog up because of this.
It looks like I was incorrect here, another poster who has one posted
elsewhere in this thread that it's dyebased. I got it confused with
Epson's newer pigment printers, I was thinking of a different model
number.
The R1800 as the other poster suggested is probably better for what
you want to do. I'm not sure about the waterfastness of Ultrachrome vs
Durabrite ink, as it's not designed with that in mind. Pigment ink is
generally more waterproof than dye, though.
