Digital BW, The Print

Bob,
What kind of mileage do you get out of the UT2 carts, say in 
terms of 8X10s or in relation to the standard Epson inksets?
I'm considering switching to UT2 (tired of trying to eliminate the 
green color cast in the midtones) and buying either a C84 or a 
1280 (I do mostly 8X10). But I'm concerned that the UT2 will 
push up my ink costs and trying to get an idea of how usage 
compares with standard Epson ink costs.
