Mike: first thing you need to do is remove the CIS & carts and replace
them with regular carts. That will tell you if your problem is in the
heads or in the CIS/carts. While the symptoms are the same, the
solutions are unrelated. So you need to diagnose where the problem is
first. Then you can fix it. 

I agree with Paul about the MIS spongeless carts. After several years
of using a CIS I realized 90% of my problems were in the CIS & related
carts and almost never clogged heads. So I changed to refillable carts
and life got simpler.
