Tom,
sorry to hear about this kind of trouble, what I can tell you is that I am
running a CIS with MIS Full Spectrum inks and since the time I have
installed it (2 months maybe) I had exactly zero clogs. My impression is
that on switching on the printer it does cleaning cycles more often than
with Epson inks, but as  bulk inks are not too expensive, I don\ufffdt wory.
I have seen side to side comparisions of MIS FS and Piezo, and seen
virtually zero difference.

If you try it, you will probably not be unhappy. What I don\ufffdt know is how
much the 1160 heads (and nozzles) vary from sample to sample. Just can tell
that mine is fine.

Before the MIS inks I tried out a german quad black, there I had constantly
banding due to clogged nozzles.

Good luck, Bernhard
