Not that I have seen yet Mark.  I know Jon Cone said recently they are 
looking at the carts for the 7880/9880 and don't expect too much to be 
different.

In the meantime, you would need to refill the Epson OEM carts for the 
9880. I have been refilling the 220ml carts for the 7600 for some inks. 
It is not as tedious as refilling small carts, like the 2400. ;>)

I use a 60cc syringe and an adapter from MIS. It takes about 4 syringe 
fulls, maybe 5 minutes, to refill a 220ml cart. I have been sucking the 
K3 ink out of 4800 220ml carts and refilling both the wide format 
refillable carts and the regular 7600 OEM carts.

The open wide format refillable carts are a bit easier.  Easier to 
monitor too. You either have to weigh the other carts, or just "top 
them off" often to prevent running out.

FWIW, there is a used 9800 with free shipping on Ebay. No bids, 
starting at $2,000, with 15 hours left.

Best,
Michael
