For best gamut with pigmented inks in a 7000/9000, use Generations
Enhanced and print on Crane Mueso, Epson Fine Art Smooth, Epson
Archival Matte, or one of the Hahnemulle papers. Not quite as good as
oem dye gamut (and black density), but after profiling better than
Epson pigs by a considerable margin, and good enuf IMO.

you can certainly put A4 thru a 7000. I've done it lots.
