When you say the "7600 AND LATEST MAC OS AND EPSON DRIVER NOT AN OPTION" are you referring to the issues around printing with K7 on gloss media? If so, Cone's K7 Selenium set is built for gloss. However, it either needs to be sprayed or over coated with a gloss optimizer to eliminate bronzing & gloss differential. You can actually print with any of the K7 inks in this manner, but until you "fixed" the inks with the spray or overcoat they will smudge if touched. Terry.
