Whoops! My bad. Skimming a post too quickly. My 8300 came in at the end of July, have not a single clog and here is a screen capture of the ink used, what little there has been. Only the GY (gray ink) has dropped below showing full.To clarify, Rob: I don't own a 9990. What I stated above was simply "am reading about numerous issues with the 9990 as well as the extraordinary ink waste through cleaning cycles on the Epsons in general."
I have no personal experience with the 9990 so I don't want to give that impression.

That's sort of the conclusion I came to as well. I know many commercial printers invested in x880's, up to and including the 60" 11880, and did not upgrade to x900's. But for a photographer at least, the output from the x900's is certainly a visible if not obvious improvement...The only explanation I can think of at the moment is that perhaps Epson has not seen the sales of the x900 as it thought and it thinks the lack of sales is due to a perceived or actual high cost of printing over the life of the printer because of the additional inks included in the x900 and the x880 (now x890) series provide a gamut the suits the needs of most people without the need of two additional ink cartridges.
Woody,Any referrences to links comparing the HP z3100 to the new epsons, or otherwise bearing on HP z3100 print quality issues would be very, very welcome.
Thanks . . . I'll PM you next week.Woody:
anytime you want to come out and try printing some images on my 9900 let me know (not matte though, i don't want to change inksets)

I'm confused; aren't the insets same as 7900? and on mine I have matte black and photo black always available.Woody:
