Digital BW, The Print

I'm ready to convert my 3000 to B&W.

Paul Roark was kind enough to make recommendations of either MIS ut FS 
or MIS UT FSN.

Can anyone else out there let me know if they are using these inks and 
what therir workflow is.

I'm also considering converting the 1200 to B&W and wondering if I can 
manage an overlap with the inks for the 3000 and the 1200, with the 1200 
being either variable tone or Neutral.

Do I need to use QTRip and QTRGui?

Are ink profiles available for the 3000 and the 1200 under QTRGui?

Also I would like to get some colour inks for my 1200 (considring it), I 
remember someone was using Lyson Fotonics, if my mmemory serves 
correctly, but I'm not positive. I had saved the post, but my hard drive 
went belly up and I lost a lot of past mail.

Lastly, I'd like to know if anyone is mixing their own cleaning carts, 
again I'm sure a formula was mentioned, which I saved in a mail, long 
lost...so if someone could help I'd appreciate it.

Any recommendations and opinions welcomed.

Thanks
