Digital BW, The Print

While waiting for the UT7 inks to become available, I found a cheap c82
and thought I'd try the UT2 family that way. In reviewing the web site
and speaking to MIS it seems between MIS information and what Paul has
stated below. There are separate bulk inks for each position (C, M and
Y) for sale on the web site and MIS says they are different inks in each
position. Whereas Paul, in his message quoted below seems (to me) to
state that the same light ink is used in each position. 

Can someone clarify?
