Default Epson 4000 Issue with Single Color

I have an Epson 4000 that I purchased along with my business last year. It has printed fine with no probs other than the occassional head cleaning needed if it sits unused for too long. Recently I have had one single head that continues to clog - the magenta on the right side. I waste so much ink doing a full cleaning to get this one head working again -anyone have any home remedies?

Using Epson ink?
It could be a damaged head or you may need to soak the head in fluid to loosen dried on gunk. Clamp the capping station to pump tube, fill the capping station with a cleaning fluid, from water to 50/50 IMS/water and sleep on it.
