Photoshop image adjustment curves are used to control the inks.  The basic
workflow is to edit in grayscale, save that file, then convert the image to
RGB, apply the tone curve you want, print and delete the RGB file.

I don't think the UT2 inkset is easier the way I use it.  I continue to use
curves to control printing.  However, it will print in the medium tones
without the use of curves.  This opens up non-Photoshop applications, which
is important to some.  My interest in the inkset has more to do with the
sepia end and its better glossy printing.
