Hi Paul,
Thank you very much for your answers.  

Do you find there is a reason you are using the Ultrachrome ink from
older printers?  I know you prefer matte paper but I do like
flexibility to use fiber-type glossy as well at times. I thought the
newer inks had less bronzing and other benefits on gloss-type papers.  

It looks like the 7600 and 4800 both use 110ml Ultrachrome cartridges
but the 4800 ink is described as Ultrachrome K3.  The 4880 even has
220ml carts that are a bit cheaper on a per ml basis.

Quick Math:
Epson 7600 or 4800 110ML= 3.7 oz for $70
Epson 4800 220ML= 7.4 oz for $112
MIS "K4" is 4oz for $18
