Andy-
Not sure what technique you are using to inject the head with Fantastik, but
this is finally worked for me in a very similar situation:  Using a 20 or 30
cc syringe with some Fantastik (theories vary on whether or how much the
Fantastik should be diluted with water), screw one of the MIS "tube
adapters" to the end of the syringe.  Attach the adapter to the spike of the
clogged head.  Apply gentle pressure until you feel that some of the
Fantastik has entered the head (it actually took me some considerably
pressure)  Too much and the liquid will spurt out.  Anyway, the important
part is to pull on the syringe and draw the Fantastik OUT into the syringe.
You should see ink flow into the syringe.   I did this a few times, and then
after waiting overnight, I miraculously got perfect nozzles checks, after
weeks of trying all other techniques. Hope this helps.
