Digital BW, The Print

I am considering the possibility of getting a 7600 rather than a 2200 
because I  would like to make mainly 16x24 inch prints, and sometimes 
would like to print at 22x33 inch size, which I suppose is the largest 
print from a full-frame 35mm negative that can be made with this 
printer.

As I intend to print only one matte paper, I am not worried by the loss 
of 1/4 of the ink in the cartridges when switching between the two 
types of black inks when changing between glossy and matte paper. But 
are there any other problems with this printer?

I was intending to use the ImagePrint RIP for color and B&W. What are 
the thoughts on this?

Epson is rumored to be uploading a firmware fix this coming 
Friday. This is rumored to address the "remaining ink" issue. I 
assume it will be for both the 9600 and 7600. 

Someone said tonight that the Windows version is already up. 
But I guess Friday for Mac version. 

I assume it's on the Driver/Download section of epson.com.

Are the 220ml 9600 cartridges cheaper on a per print basis, or is just 
the convenience of a 220 vs 110ml cartridge?
