This might have damaged the head beyond repair.

Well, if the cartridge is undamaged (which is unlikely after rubbing the
head on blotting paper), you could try sitting it in deionised (*not*
tap) water overnight to see if that'll soften anything that's bunging up
the jets.   It might be that the electrical contacts are grubby -
cleaning then with a gentle wipe from a lint-free cloth soaked in switch
cleaner (for preference) or meths might help.
