How about the new Epson Velvet?

Apparently this will be fixed when the OS X version comes out. I have been 
using IP4 for my 7000 out of a Mac and it takes some getting used to.  That 
said, however, it works fine. I am about to test IP5 - and eventually the 
upcoming 2200 driver. We'll see.

Easier said, I am afraid... I am looking at a 9500 used... ugh.  Have you played 
with those OEM inks for bw?

Funny shot - but drives the point home, so to speak.




Thanks for comparing notes.
