I trid to print a block of one color that had only one jet firing and got nowhere. Seems to me that this would be hard on the ink pump too.

You need to make sure that your capping stations are making a really good seal on your heads or your pump will not be able to make enough suction to free up the clogged nozzles.

2 days un-capped is an extremely long amount of time and you may not even be able to free all the jets.
