Digital BW, The Print

As Walt suggested above, you might try changing the ABW tone setting
from its default "darker" to a lighter setting (I've been using
"light").  You may also want to try setting Color Density under Ink
Config to -5%, as per Clayton Jones' recommendation in his article on
2400 B&W printing, located here:

That article provides a very clear walk-through for getting started
with ABW on the 2400.
