For less than the cost of a head replacement locally, I shipped an 1160 to
Arditos from Sunnyvale & got a complete overhaul.

However, be sure to check your machine with OEM Epson carts befroe you
commit to this expense, although it does seem reasonable given the age of
your machine. The problems you describe can result from defective carts, air
in the cart, foamy ink... and I have run across several bad carts recently.
The "shaky" reputation of the Eboni ink is directly attributable to bad
carts, not the ink.   -BK
