Yes, makes lots of sense.

I agree with David (although I'm not sure about the "not knowing
you're born" part <g>).  Your story about keeping the cranky old 1280
running is like reliving a bad dream.  The K3 printers have left that
story in the far distant past.  Clogs are almost non-existant (I've
had maybe 3 minor clogs in just over two years of use).  I only do a
nozzle check if it's been idle for more than two weeks, which is
hardly ever.  Output quality is superb.

Please have a look at article #9 at the link below.  It outlines a
very effective and simple workflow for the 2400.


Regards,
Clayton
