I think I am the one who suggested to remove the print head and clean it separately, but please note that I have not done so myself and cannot offer any practical advice.
I have read that other people used Windex (ammonia) to clean clogged heads on some Epson printers, basically just put the print head on a paper towel soaked in ammonia. Google and you might find something. I think a similar process might work with the i960, i.e. remove the head, clean it with something (ammonia, water, I don't know what is best), but I would recommend rinsing in distilled water to make sure there are no minerals left in those fine nozzles. I know the water has lots of minerals where I live and I guess it would clog the head for sure.
anyway, I don't have time to fool around with my printer now, but if you go ahead and clean your printer, let me know how it worked out.
