And I have.  First time filling cartridges.  Good messy fun.  Here's
what I'm doing:

  Ilford Smooth Pearl
  neutral tone

  now: PKN, UT2-LM replacing sepia, sliders
  before: Eboni (not used, I think), stock UT2 set, curves

My first print under the new regime came out with blocked up shadows,
and far too cool.  I'm surprised at the temperature difference, but
maybe it's because the slider settings recommended at
<http://www.inksupply.com/ut2comments.cfm> are intended for use
with PK, and I'm using PKN.  Advice on how to fix these problems
would be greatly appreciated.
