The ink jet market is certainly along way from one size fits all as it
stands.  Epson offers an extensive array of dye AND pigment options.  These
are all currently supported.  In addition there are numerous dye AND pigment
3rd party options in both the color and quad markets.  With as confusing as
the incredible diversity of options...sometimes I wish we had a one size
fits all option.  Personally, I'm running several quad printers with
different ink sets...drivers, etc... and several color printers with
different ink sets...my guess is that this isn't all that common on this
list.  I wish...I wish...I wish...I could have one 7000 class machine that
would make fine art quality BW and color prints...but I don't see it
happening soon (at least probably not with the 7600/9600 offering)...but if
I could get one printer that did it all...my studio would be a lot less
cluttered (with printers)...and I could spend less time tweaking technology
and more time making art...but maybe this is a pipe dream.
