Digital BW, The Print

Okay, I'm taking a tenative first step. I just went out and bought a 
new C84 (if I like the results, then I'll get a 1280) and want to 
purchase some UT2 prefilled carts to start. I need to know which 
UT2 carts to purchase for the C84. I'm looking for intense b&w.
I understand I don't need any curves, right? 
Can  I just play with the sliders for warmer and richer tones?
I've been using Epson HW matte and Premium Luster, can I still 
use these?
Will I be rid of color casting and metamerism forever?
Thanks for your help.
