Well it would be a real shame if you didn't put that 9000 to work. 
Spectacular Quadtones Are at your finger tips.
I do use Ergosoft Studio print Rip and the EyeOne Photospectrometer to 
linerize the printer. With the eyeone device you can run and quad or hex ink you 
like.
The eyeone studio print package is unfortunately 3500.00 or so. but state of 
the art quality. In my opinion you will need some sort of software rip or 
otherwise to lay the ink down properly.
Cheaper methods like the software from www.bwguys.com  Would do you just 
fine.
RGB curves could be made if you have the knowledge or plenty of time.
