Digital BW, The Print

First I use a cloth or paper towel to wipe off any residue on the bar,
making sure to get the cloth completely around the bar.
Then I use sewing machine oil. I carefully put a couple drops on the bar --
not too much, to avoid it dripping down where it should not go -- and
immediately get the print head to spread it.
