This finally did the trick, I have been trying to clear this bugger for
over two weeks. I actually used a similar product to Speedball 2000 that
my local janitorial supply house carried and let it set in the head for
24-36 hours. Soaking the pad did little to bust up this clog it was only
by filling the head with the cleaner and letting it sit like I did that
it finally cleared things out.

This helped but it did not completely solve the problem. The new Epson
carts cleared everything expect for four nozzles in the black head.

Thanks everyone,
Mark
