Digital BW, The Print

This is the first I'm hearing of the UT-2 inkset. My interest is piqued!

My 1280 should be arriving today, and I was planning to dedicate it to 
B&W printing with the UT inkset and Paul Roark's workflow.

One of my main concerns with the UT inkset and the Roark workflow was 
the inability to get a WYSIWYG preview of the image just prior to 
printing.. with the Roark method, the last thing I would see on my 
monitor prior to hitting the print button would be a very weird looking 
(almost psychedelic) rendition of my file.

Will the UT-2 inks allow me to get an accurate preview on my monitor 
prior to printing (assuming the monitor is accurately calibrated)? How 
about if I choose a warmer or cooler setting?

Finally, where's the best place to get fully up to speed on the UT-2 inkset?

Thanks,

Mike
