Digital BW, The Print

>1. ... ordered MISPRO color and UT2 B&W inks. The 
>B&W inks say Ultra Tone UT-4-LC/LM etc. Are these UT2 inks, 
>or the original UT inks?

I don't know MIS numbering.  The 4 could be the bottle size -- 4 oz. -- if
bulk.  Look at the Yellow position.  The UT2 sepia is very obvious.
 
>2. ... thinking of using color in the 2200 and B&W in the 1280.

The 2200 is much less susceptible to clogs and faster, for what it's worth.
Both at their best make excellent prints.  The LK substitution in the 2200
has value in color.

>3. I got a bottle of GLOP and cleaning fluid (one of which is the 
> base, I believe) as well.

Glop can be used as a base for glossy printing inks.  Cleaning fluid is
dilute (lower viscosity) UC-type base (no binder).  The cleaning fluid
cannot be used as a base.

Use PK and Glop.  The standard ratio for dilution is 30 PK to 70 base.
However, the PK loads have changed.  So, it's hard to say what the exact
ratio is for what you have.

>5. ... QTR does not show either the PM-3700C (1280) or the 
>PM-4000PX (2200). Would I be okay using the 1280 or 2200 
>as the printer of choice?

Download the program and see if it works.

Good luck with the project.
