Greg, thank you, I have a 10000 cartridge filled with the 
contents of two 220ml UC PK carts and will try that with color 
prints on the 10000 but changing inks again on the 9000 
becomes too expensive. The 9000 is having MIS inks and I'm 
afraid that there's too much hue shift in the grey - black 
inks with a UC black added.
I'll have to accept that even 2.0 D isn't available. The rest: 
bronzing, gloss difference, is absent. Next thing is finding 
an acceptable RC gloss paper that delivers the higher Dmax.
