There's something in development at Epson. Whether it will make it to the
market is hard to say.
I've talked with someone on the Epson stand at the Fotokina. I said
CMYKkk(+glossK) and he nodded.

BTW, Ilford considers dropping the Monokrome pigment quad inks for Encads.
Too small a market I was told. Ilford is getting more and more Epson
orientated. But can not sell their own inks that way. They must have paper
deals with Epson though but is that enough ?

John Nollendorfs mentioned the use of Ultrachrome in a 9000 without
problems.
