Digital BW, The Print

I just start doing some paper tests last weekend after not using my
2400 for over 6 months.  I did a quick nozzle check and, after two
nozzle cleanings, I was good to go for printing.

I was very surprised that that was all it took to be able to print
again.  I am using K3 ink.
