Yes to the best of my knowledge, the S800 has six separate tanks. The other S series use 4 tanks, as did Canon BJC-6xx series. The Epson 2000P has six separate tanks. The HPs replace the three color cartridge with an optional six color cartridge, I think black is separate, also the print-heads are built into the cartridges. The Epson Photo printers use a 6 color cartridge, black and 5 colors.
As far as I know the only one of these that is designed specifically as a photo printer is the Canon S800. It is supposed to be rather slow printing text. I have not seen recent prints made on ah HP with the six-color cartridge installed. If anyone has one, please send it to the PDML Pinter Challenge.
