When changing ink types it is always good to run some cleaning cartridges first, that is before introducing the new ink to the print heads. This helps prevent any reactions between the inks. MIS carries a new cleaning solution that seems to work much better then the windex, the product is listed at the bottom of the accessory web page its called MIS-fluid. Soaking the park pad and letting the heads sit in it allows the fluid to wick up into the print heads.

Otherwise you'll be chasing a nozzle problem when you really have a cart problem. Your's sounds like it could be a cart problem but you can tell for sure if it prints fine with Epson carts. Call MIS and you'll eventually ending up talking to Bob, the owner. He'll probably tell you to disconnect the cart from the tube, suck out all the ink from the bottom and bottom refill with exactly 9cc's of ink (for a 1280 cart), let sit for a few hours then try it. CFS carts need the right amount of air in them. I love my MIS CFS but they can be a bit quirky to set up.
