Getting into "maintenance mode" is explained in the manual.  There just
isn't an option as you outlined re the 7600/9600.  Unless there is a
maintenance mode for us and a maintenance mode for people in the know....

Yes the principal issue with PK on matte paper is that the dMax drops
dramatically.  Just try a couple of prints and you'll see.  I think a 9
cartridge printer will likely wait until the third generation.  It's been
two years since the 2100 and Ultrachrome inks first came into being - who
knows if we have to wait for another two....
