There are several things to try: First try to soak the resting pad for the print head with windex and let the head rest overnight. Then try some cleaning cycles. Buy cleaning carts or buy empty carts and fill them with cleaning fluid from ie MIS - or try Windex as cleaning fluid. Print purge patterns with cleaning fluid. Let the printer rest overnight. Make some more cleaning cycles with cleaning fluid. Install new carts with fresh ink and test nozzle patterns. If this is ok and your cis cart still gives trouble you may have to change cis carts. They are probably with sponge to stabilize ink flow and the ink may sort of get thick and partly block the inkflow (the ink foams). MIS have instructions on how to deal with this problem I believe (-clean out the carts), but the simplest and least messy way is to buy new cis carts. - You could consider to change to refillable (spongeless) carts as I have done. I dont have to worry about ink foaming, but I have to refill the carts when they get empty. If you print a lot that may be irritating. Good luck!
