Digital BW, The Print

According to someone I emailed with at MIS, the Ultratone cartidges 
for the 2200 are indeed available now:

"I'll do my best to answer all of your questions. We currently have 
Ultra-tone available in cartridges for the 2200, but you'll need to 
phone in your order, as they are not yet available on our web site. 
 248-391-2163"

But none of this answers my question re: the Ultratones v. 
Septones....
