Better wait for the 10600 carts then. 500 ml and probably cheaper per ml as
a result.

If Epson really intends to sell a 2200/7600/9600 Ultrachrome "quad set" they
should consider selling that same ink in 9000 carts as well. It will give
them back part of the market of third party inks and they will make a lot of
3000/7000/9000/7500/9500 owners happy that intend to upgrade to 9600 etc
models. It will give the older printers a second life.
