Digital BW, The Print

The UT inkset (also known as the UT1 inkset) is used in both older quadtone
printers like the 1160 and also in hextone printers such as the 1280-1290.
The ink order is different in these printer types.  This causes confusion,
including to folks who fill the cartridges.  So, you may have a cartridge
that was loaded incorrectly. 

The 1160 has the bluish toner in the yellow position. (The 1280 has it in
the Magenta and Light magenta positions.) To check ink order or your 1160
UT1 inkset, print the Purge4-2 test file and compare it to a print of the
test patter from a correctly-loaded cart.  The test file and comparison
print can be downloaded from my webpage at
http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/index.htm .

If you purchased an incorrectly-loaded cart from MIS, they will replace it.
