Thanks!  I guess I will go ahead and install it in the 7600 then. It 
is an old beast anyway. ;>)

Yeah, the question is how long you use it "as designed", and when you 
start to hack it.  

I always need one straight-up, Epson ink, color machine that I can 
trust absolutely for longevity, for prints for clients, etc. So it 
will be a while before the 9900 falls into the "second tier" category 
and I can play with it.

We can probably do without the Orange or Green - depending on subject 
matter - and put the GLOP in.  I don't really need Matte Black, maybe 
if we are still doing 2 passes I will put GLOP there.

I think we are going to have to create our own drivers/RIP pretty 
soon though and run the whole machine!  I wonder what is available as 
open source? 

But then I will have to run Linux/Unix again, blah ... I'd rather 
just make images!!  ;>)

Best,
Michael
