Ummm.. WOW! I can get my 9500 very clean with minimal effort. Have 
you purged the lines, and then load with the cleaning fluid? There 
should be a purge procedure in the users manual, supposed to do this 
before transporting the machine. Sequence should be as follows (for a 
good cleaning):

Purge old ink. Install fresh cleaning carts, and let the printer do 
an initial charge, a couple more head cleanings for good measure, 
then another purge to remove the cleaning fluid. Install ink, let it 
do another initial charge, and print. If you really want to be 
thorough, then remove and clean all the dampers, or simply replace 
them, that is one of the most likely places that a little ink will 
hide, and hopefully the first point of failure if you do have an ink 
mixing problem.
