Digital BW, The Print

Hello all.  I've got the clog from hell...  I bought a used Epson 
1160 online and it arrived with dried up carts in it.  I took the carts 
out and used a cleaning cartridge that I bought from inkjetmall to 
purge the inks from the system.  After ordering a CFS from MIS, I 
had to wait for a week for it to arrive so the printer was sitting 
around without any carts in it at all for about a week.  Now, I find 
that this was probably my big mistake and that any ink remaining 
in the nozzles would dry out and cause some major clogging.  
After installing the CFS there were a few bars missing on the 
yellow and cyan ink sections.  I did the requisite 3 cleaning 
cycles, then print, repeat, repeat and still the missing bands on 
the nozzle check.  It's always in the same spot.  So, I tried 
soaking the felt pads on the right side of the machine with 
Fantastik hoping that it would solve the problem.  Nope...  Next, I 
tried using some fresh Epson ink carts and doing the 3 cleaning, 
print, repeat, repeat, repeat technique and still nothing.  Finally, I 
tried injecting the print heads with Fantastik to no avail.  I'm out of 
options and am wondering if there's anything else I can do 
before I have to send it out and get it worked on professionally.  
Thanks for your help.
