It sounds like there will be some bargains for those who want a large format
printer for dedicated B&W.  The UT7 doesn't need the dual blacks to print on
both matte and glossy paper, which is why I opted for the 7600 instead of
the 4000.  

Those who do want the new one ought to find out what its matte dmax is also.
The 4000 is weak.  On the 7600, I'm finding a paper type other than matte
gives the best dmax on matte paper.  The 4000 does not allow this paper
choice.
