Yes, it's a 9 cart printer.  The specifications are
slightly confusing, in that it's been referred 
to as an 8-color printer.

As I understand it, it's an 8 cartridge printer but a
ninth cartridge must replace one of the black
cartridges when you want to print black and white. 
That means you must buy nine cartridges instead of
eight.  It also means every time you switch from B@W
to Color, you must purge the one black line which will
cost about $10 in ink each time you do it.  Thus,
switching from B@W to Color is costly if you do it
very often.  PLUS, the hassle!  So for some of us who
like to print B@W and Color, and who often do it the
same day, this is a caveat.
Just my impression.
