Digital BW, The Print

OK, so say i wanted to set up my 2200 with grays, FSN specially, and 
leave IJC out of the equation for the moment and use Photoshop.

i'd be printing ONLY on EPSG,EPL,EPSM and i want the least amount of 
green and magenta (a neutral balance of the two i guess) how would i 
configure my ink slots?

all Ultratones.....
Pk .. Lk (Custom Light Black) what is that? .. FSN-C .. FSN-M .. FSN-
C .. FSN-M and THEN that actual Light Cyan (used as a cooler) to tone 
down the magnet, or would it to tone down the green??

>The UT-FSN uses the new blue and avoid M entirely, making it a more 
stable ink.

 are you saying that i shouldn't get the magenta undertone with the 
latest UT FSN inks?

sorry paul, i'm just a bit confused
