Antonis,

I've been happy with my 1160 running MIS VM Inks and the
Epson driver with Roark curves & Workflow.   Isn't the 7500 at
least as good as the 1160 quality wise?  The more I look for
info it seems that little has been done with the 7500 and quad-
tones.  There aren't any curves available and it looks like I may
have to fill my own cartridges.  Do the 7000 or 9000 carts work
with the 7500?  Going the IP route almost doubles the price
and it loses the variable tone possibility.
