AFAIK it is possible to change the cart setting in the internal
software of the 7000 to the use of 9000 carts and with that the
7000 will count with 220 ml per cart. The hardware 'empty' tab of
the 9000 cart will act in the same way as a 7000 cart does so
there's no risk of a dry ink path anyway.

As no cart will be emptied to the bottom there is a difference
between two times 7000 and one time 9000. Your printer will be
happy but you may throw away about 25 ml of ink extra above the
usual
20 to 25 ml ink that stays in a 9000 cart.

There is no risk in running till the hardware empty warning comes
into action.
