More of an observation than concrete advise but I noticed that the ink connection system between the lid/tube-feed and the printhead tops was potentially prone to problems caused by lint, dust and other detritus getting into the connection point and creating an air channel that reduces ink flow to the printhead.

It's be well worth you carefully cleaning the top of the printheads to remove any crud that's built up and also clean and inspect the outlet ports in the printhead lids (the blue flip down lids to be clear) to ensure they don't have any crud or damage that might be causing problems too.

That's where I'd look... Good luck!
