I've had a different experience with my color-dedicated C86 using MIS 
PRO inks (or whatever the name of the ultrachrome equivalent is). I've 
printed dozens of 4x6 photos, with no clogging or banding yet. I have 
found it's generally necessary to print at the super best resolution 
(RPM or whatever it's called) and turn off high speed in order to 
avoid banding, though, especially for glossy prints (Kirkland glossy 
from Costco works great). I also take care to make sure I don't let 
the printer go a day or two without making at least one print. 

Of course, the R800 is a different animal with different inks, so my 
point is simply that at least some MIS color inksets for Epson can 
work well.

And - to stay within topic for this list - I love my B&W dedicated C86 
using MIS EZ inks.
