AFAIK the B9180 Vivera pigment inkset is the same as the one 
of the Z2100 + Z6100 which is again very similar to the 
Z3100 inkset. Where the last has the extra Orange, Green, 
Violet inks, the Z2100 and B9180 have two cyan inks instead 
of the single one in the Z3100. The same 130 ml PK cart is 
used for the Z2100 and Z3100. And for example the No 70 
Photo black and Light Grey head is usable on both the B9180 
and Z2100.
