Using the original Epson inks to test your printer may be a wise 
decision. If it bands or clogs you'll know that it's not because of 
third party inks.

I use an Epson 1160 with the original Ultra-Tones (MIS-UT) inkset, 
having switched from the MIS-FSN inkset because of the choices of 
curves (Sepia, warm, selenium and cool) and also because of the 
better longevity of these inks over the FS-N inkset.

However, the new UT2 inkset will not work in a Epson 1160.
