Dean Here is what I can tell you. I put 7000 dampers in(didn't know 7500's 
were different). I used a syringe to draw ink into the dampers, there where two 
that didn't fill on there own. The only cleaning fluid I have used where the 
standard Piezo inkjetmall cleaner carts. Strange as it may seem my old dampers 
did not seem clogged at all! piezotones x 18months and MIS FS pigs for a year 
before that. I did not change the heads at this time they where performing 
fine. My job was all preventive maintenace and to learm something about the 
innerworkings. I have a 9000 also. These are Fabulous machines but its up to us to 
service them.
The only real hassle was some of those screws are hard to get at. If you can 
get it all back together without error codes great, you just have the 
alignment to deal with.
I wouldn't order 7500 heads as there maybe firmware issues when you fire it 
up. And we do know 7000 heads work just fine.
