The Epson driver and MIS FS inksets (standard and neutral), as Jeff Randall
mentioned, are great options.  Also, the variable-tone/mix inks that MIS
sells are an option.  See the www.inksupply.com webpage for more. (The quad
page is at
http://www.inksupply.com/index.cfm?source=html/quadtone.html )

As an aside, congratulations on finding an 1160.  I just had my 1160
repaired -- new head -- at close to what I paid for it because that printer
has so many ink and workflow options (and is the best test ink bed for my
purposes).  (I'll be working on a dye-based, FS/Piezo compatible inkset next
for both glossy paper and film, but I don't recommend you wait for or use
this.  But it's nice to know the 1160 can use so many different inksets and
workflows.)
