I'm curious if the 4000 uses both photo black and matte black 'at the same time'--or if you would think any new printer would use them at the same time?  If not, I suppose then one could still say its an 8 ink printer--its sort of how you look at it.  I'm still interested though I sort of lean towards a 4000 since I occasionally like to print larger and it would be nice not to have to 'switch' the blacks as in my 2200.  However, my 2200 may keep clicking on for a good while and I won't replace it until it dies.

  Also, if the new printers can use both Photo and Matte black at the same time 
  (without swapping them), these would be 9 ink printers, not 8 inks.
