Digital BW, The Print

I'm experiencing almost the identical problem with my 1160 with the 
UT inkset. I already had the Eboni black ink installed and decided to 
go the whole route and install the other UT inks. After installing 
the CFS, the first two prints came out well. Then suddenly I was 
getting near zero nozzle checks on the "yellow" ink. Like you, I went 
through the whole routine with the Epson cartridge and the pulling 
the ink through the lines. There was some improvement, but then the 
problem came back. I think -- and I'd be interested in other people's 
opinions here --  that perhaps the best thing to do at this point is 
to just let the printer sit idle for a couple of days. If there is a 
problem with foam in the cart, then this may be the best way to deal 
with it, assuming you've tried to remove it first from the cart and 
you've run the Epson carts.
