Digital BW, The Print

Hi, Gary. I live in Santa Fe at 7000 feet and desert and print with a 3800. Santa Fe is not as dry as Phoenix but in the winter with the heat on it rarely gets above 20% humidity. 

This last winter while we were on our winter driveabout the housesitters forgot to turn on/off the printer every week. We came back after 3 months and I ran a nozzle check and a print - to my great surprise A was OK! What a vast improvement over my previous 2400. So I think you are not just lucky - the printer is good.

I keep the printer covered except when I'm printing and blow off the printer (with compressed air) before I print. Living in a desert environment, dust can be more of an issue. A few months a year, known as the "Monsoon Season" the humidity is higher, also after a rain storm. We average about 7" of rain a year and compared to what most people associate with monsoon, I'm not sure why they call it that. I print fairly often. I do occasional head cleanings, nothing really extraordinary.
