A 2400 should not have any settlement problems.  That's a wide format issue mostly.

If you use QTR and have a Calibration print from the past (a good idea to keep one around, in fact) print another Calibration print on the same paper and see if the LM is not firing as strongly as before.  A nozzle check will not show all problems.  If the screen in the head is mostly clogged there can be enough ink to print a nozzle check but not enough to sustain good printing.

Is the problem with all papers?  Maybe you have an odd, bad paper batch.  

(I'm guessing an environmental cause this extreme would also knock you out.)
