I wouldn't be so quick to write-off the light cyan and light magenta inks.
I'd much rather have the diluted inks around to enable a better grayscale
(ala ImagePrint) while using color inks. Its one thing if Epson adds red and
blue ink (like Colorspan has done for years) but to chuck the light inks is
bad, and the R800 has no light black either, the grayscale output is going
to be dreadful. The people I've talked to at Epson Prographics are not
enthused, and I can't see how Epson could sell a 10 position ink cartridge
printer. If they made the 4000 a 10 ink printer you'd be talking about a
grand just to buy a backup set of 2200ml inks for a $1695 printer. I would
also want to see some real gamut plots, two reputable people I've talked to
have mentioned a very slight increase in gamut, certainly not enough to
justify loosing the smoothness of the diluted inks, at 30"x40" you will
notice things you don't see on the snapshots from the R800. I had CMYKOG
inks in my Mutoh RJ6100 (driven by Wasatch) and it was really much too rough
compared to its CcMmYK configuration.
