Rather than posting the report here, and ending up with threads all over the place on this. I think that those using Ultrachrome inks or considering the purchase of a printer using those inks (i.e. 2200, 7600, 9600, or 10600) should, IMHO, read the thread which starts here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/EPSONx7x_Printers/message/10030 It includes a suggested workaround attributed to an EPSON rep by a reputable source.. (you'll recognize the source when you read his post - and the fact of a quick workaround offered up by EPSON means they have almost certainly gotten a more than statistically irrelevant number of reports) I have been considering a 7600 myself but, based on these reports, I shall postpone a decision until the whole story is clear.. This seems, as reported, not to be a fatal flaw, however, it could significantly impact any contemplated workflow..
