MIS should have the UT7 inks on its web page very soon. 
(See http://www.inksupply.com/index.cfm?source=html/qn.html ) 
I have the inkset (which is like UT2 for the 1280) running in a 2200 with
the Epson driver.  No other software is needed.

The UT7 inkset is a variable-tone B&W inkset that can be printed from any
application and cover the tones medium warm through neutral just by
adjusting the Epson driver sliders.  With Photoshop or Picture Window,
however, much more flexibility is available.  With (free) image adjustment
curves the inkset goes from sepia to cool.  It also prints on gloss or matte
paper when Eboni matte black is installed.  

So, the MIS UT7 inks are all you need to buy.  MIS or I will supply curves.
