Have you actually seen sample prints with the new technology (7600/9600)?  I
was just speaking with someone this weekend that has been using the new
printers for a month.  He also uses quad ink sets on similar class
(7000/9000) machines.  He suggested that the new epson printers do a better
job than the old ones making BW images with color inks...but that the quad
prints were still far superior for critical BW work.  I haven't seen
prints...but I'm hoping to spend an afternoon with one of the printers soon.
Anyone have any direct experience making BW's with the new printers?
