Tom: I went through an entire set of MIS VM carts in my 1280 and never
had a clogging problem. An occasional bad nozzle check, but one
cleaning solved it every time. 
I'm currently using the MIS FSN-E inks in a MIS CFS and still have no
clogging problem.
So I'm not sure how to advise you. Maybe some of us have been lucky
while your luck has been otherwise.
