Digital BW, The Print

Oh, so it appears that the individual nozzles may not even get dried out,
but the bottom of this "screen" material does.

It's easy to see how any drying of ink down there could "deflect" the ink,
preventing it from hitting the paper precisely where the nozzle is trying to
put it.

It's amazing these suckers work at all. ;-)
