I bet it only slows them down. I'm told the 10K printers use an air 
bladder inside the carts to do the same thing. I'm also told that 
some slight surgery makes the carts re-fill friendly. Probably the 
same mechanism in the new 78/9800, it seems that the 4800 will use 
the same matte black carts that the 4000/x600 printers use. Someone 
posted an epson sales bulletin at DPReview that talks about the matte 
black cart.
