You don't beed to buy cleaning carts or fluid. Just use some of the base for the Carbon 6. Add ammonia and isopropyl alcohol (about $3 each.) Run an INIT fill 3-4 times using the refillable carts you are going to buy before you put any - ink in them. Are the carts for the 7500 the same as for the 9500? Lyson has carts for the 7500 for $210. You can have them drop shipped through inkjetart.com http://ink2image.com/WFRefillablecartridges.html I ordered a set for the 7600 and they worked perfectly the first time I installed them. I have had trouble with quality control with other vendors and had to returnm 1/3 to 1/2 of the carts I received, could not get them to work. The biggest "drawback" to Carbon 6 is thAt it is matte only. I am trying to move to all Photo Black printing for color. I also want to print on the new fiber papers. So i will probably move to the Cone inks for glossy. But no hurry, I have 1/2 of a liter of Carbon 6 to use up first. ;>) Very nice prints from Carbom 6. I am proofing on Epson Enhanced Matte, final prints on Moab Entrada Bright White. The Ultrasmooth and Somerset Velvet also produced very nice prints with Carbon 6. Good luck! Best, Michael
