Basically it is the same head as used for CMY in the 3000 but 
there have been several generations and quality control (hand 
picked) was also used. In order of quality: 3000, 5000, 7000 + 
9000 dark side, 7000 + 9000 light side, 7500 + 9500,  so a 
3000 one shouldn't be used for a 7500 but the other way around 
may not be a problem. Roland, Mutoh, Mimaki also used the same 
head in their first generation wide formats.

On the box of the 9000 lc/lm/y one (ordered 2002 in Europe) 
are the following numbers
1057732 --- F055050 --- 2205771 if that is of any help. The 
dark side head had the F055040 number but the service people 
used the light side ones also for the dark side. But that's 
three years ago and the 7500 + 9500 models are a bit younger 
than the 7000 + 9000.
