Yes, a 9900.  

I am off work right now.  I have to have shoulder surgery this 
summer, then I have about 6 months of rehabilitation after that. So I 
will not be working and the 7880 would just sit anyway.  

Good timing for me - for once. Early next year is soon enough, I hope 
to have almost 1 more year off of working (at photography), for money 
at least, until I haved to go back.

I also have two 7600's and a 9600. I'll play with those for a while.  
I am working on old images from the last 10 years, a lot of scanning 
and proofing. Nothing for sale, or for clients right now anyway.

Thanks!  I will probably follow the same route.   

I am looking forward to going to almost all "photo black" printing, 
for both color and B&W. I have Premium Semi-Matte, Premium Luster, 
and Premium Semi-Gloss for proofing.  

Hahnemuhle Fine Art Baryta, Epson Exhibition Fiber, Harman Glossy FB 
Ai, and Innova Glossy Warmtone for final output.  Add a couple of 
canvas' and I should be all set.

I just bought a CIS for the 2200. I think I'll set up the K3 plus 
GLOP inks and test there, then migrate the ink set to the 7600.  I'll 
probably keep the Carbon 6 ink set, but downgrade that to the 2200. 
It is matte only.

I have run about 7 ink sets so far this year in the various machines, 
plus  afew variants.  Having fun. ;>)  

Best,
Michael
