Actually, I'm using 3rd party UltraChrome equivalents on Epson 9000's,
and have had really good results. Probably, you could get better
results on 7800--haven't compared directly, but PFP has given me the
most neutral B&W I have ever gotten on these machines. If there are
any "cross-overs" they are very small. Plus, the controls allow you to
subtly tint the resulting profiles for B&W work. (You can use the same
profiles for color & B&W work! Just lable them so you know which ones
you tinted which way.

You should be aware though that pigmented inks tend to settle, and if
you do your profiles when they are freshly put in the machine, the
results could change slightly a month or two later. 

But with PrintFix Pro, it's easy to either do a small adjustment to
earlier readings, or just run a new profile.
