John,

I was exactly in the same position than you one mounth ago: a 1160 
with the PiezographyBW plugin and the complete set of Piezo inks (the 
older one): I was also on the edge to abandon disappointed by these 
permanent clogging issues, banding and the global brownish/greenish 
tones. 

What I have done since: order a MIS FS Neutral inkset and use the 
Jeff Randall's workflow. The prints are superbous, fully neutral and 
without banding!

So forget Piezo and try MIS FS Neutral with the Epson driver!
