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.

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.
