Heads a touchy to 'fix'
Too much psi and your blow it.
On some printers if you try to run a bad head it can damage a board, pop a fuse...
I would just keep the lines from drying and wait for the new head.

If black is coming out of all the channels, either the inside of the head is damaged, which is not repairable, or your maintenance parts are failing. Check the pump tubes from the cap top all the way to the waste tubes to make sure they aren't clogged or leaking. If the tubes are clogged it will cause cross contamination. It's rare that cross contamination happens in all of the channels but if things are really clogged it wouldn't be impossible for that to be your issue.

Yes, if it is sure the printer head damaged, Epson heads are not repairable.
