I've got to disagree with you on this. The Ultrachrome inks (read 
pigment) will not require a constant "on" position. I've used pigment 
inks in my 1270 for quite some time and have run into what you are 
suggesting  but the older printers were not designed for the new inks. I 
run something through mine at least once a week and have no problems. 
You should be able to do the same with your 2400. Also, a couple of 
cleaning cycles  will not use that much ink.
