Digital BW, The Print

I am considering purchasing a R2400 (or 3800) but I am concerned 
about low temps and intermittent use (northeast US).   The area I 
would install the printer is insulated, but only heated as needed 
(some evenings or weekends when I work on the computer) otherwise the 
temps dip into the 40's for days when it is un-heated.  This will be 
frequent enough that I don't want to have to run cleaning fluids, 
remove inks, etc.

Am I destined for trouble/clogs, excess ink waste from cleanings, etc?

I think the specs on the printer say 50 deg, but I suspect that isn't 
relative to real world ink issues.  

Thx, Brian
