Grab those older Epsons.  Even my old 7500 makes great prints with the 
similar Eboni-6 installed.  The old ones that have easily re-fillable 
carts may end up collectibles as Epson makes it impossible for third 
party inks to run in the new ones.  (I wish I had room for a 9600.)

And on a per-print basis ... well, ink cost just became irrelevant.
