I'm having trouble with my white (surprise) my head seems to be clogged and am looking for solutions or tips on unclogging. thanks for the help I'm sure y'all have been through this before.

Take a patch of white t-shirt material dampen it with windex and press up
into the face of the head. Do not rub around only press up. Do this
several times then a head clean on the machine. Repeat till unclogged.
I have a T-Jet 1 without white and was told this by a US Screen tech
3 years ago and has always worked for me. In fact I use the damp
cloth against the head every morning before I start just in case.
It won't hurt the head, my first head lasted over 3 years and was still
working when I changed it.

Mike, any more tips about keeping the ink flowing freely?

I don't bother trying to save print heads anymore. Its easier and way less headaches just to replace the printhead.

The head soaking and using the machine a lot plus the other OEM
maintenance Is about it.
Happy printing.

Look into Resolute Ink, resoluteink.com. As you know Fast Ink settles and and is a huge hassle. Resolute ink does not settle nearly as fast. Be sure to clean every nook where white ink was used before switching.
