The 7600 carts didn't have the backflow valves or air pressurization. (I still use a 4000 that uses the same cart design and briefly ran Eboni-6 on a 7600.) So, maybe the 10000 carts are more like the 7800 carts I currently use that do have those attributes. The backflow valves can be dealt with rather easily. At any rate, the basic cart-to-printer couplings of these carts -- 7600 on -- is robust and facilitates agitation. It's fairly easy to just rinse Epson carts, refill them, and reset the chip.

I would use the PS curves > QTR created B&W(RGB) ICC profile route and printing from Qimage Ultimate on Windows. There will not be a color management interception by Windows or the Epson driver if managed properly.
Using it for my HP Z3100 and B&W printing.
It's good to know that Qimage gets around the CM issues on the Windows platform. QTR's new Print Tool apparently takes care of that problem for the Mac platform. (I'm Windows and not familiar with the details of the relatively new Mac print tool.) See http://www.quadtonerip.com/html/QTRprinttool.html
