How did you clean the head - by using the automated method in the print driver? I only did this once and it did nothing but suck up ink.

My method is this:
- remove ink tanks and re-cap or bag in plastic
- remove head assembly and rinse under warm water until all ink residue is gone. This involves rinsing the nozzle side and the ink feed side. Don't touch the nozzles.
- shake excess water, blow dry, reinsert head and tanks, run an ink pattern test from the driver.

This always clears the clogs for me.

After rinsing, I set the head in shallow water, just enough to have the bottom wet and let it set about 24 hours. Then I dry it and reinsert it and run the test pattern and routine maintenance. So far it has worked for me every time.

If cleaning the head as suggested doesn't work the problem might be the purge unit which is expensive and labor intensive by a technician. Call a service center near you and see what they charge to evaluate it. We charge $35 but I wouldn't spend any more than that since you can get the Pro-100 for around $150-200 after rebate.
