Yes.  Epson does not use pigments in it.

It seems to work fine with pigments.  The pigment particle sizes are very
small even compared to the inkjet orifices.  Epson often does use the same
machine for both.  The 7000 was a dye printer; the 7500 used pigments.  Both
are said to be mechanically the same machine.  The 7500 apparently uses a
more robust cleaning cycle, but any other differences in the firmware or
software are uncertain.
