Digital BW, The Print

Hi.

I had a post a week ago where I got some info for 3MK with the R1800,
well.. now the r1800 has disappeared from the market here in Norway so
I'm looking at other solutions for good A3+ BW printing.. 
The closest to the 100% carbon approach of the R1800 seems to be UT-3D 
with R2400, but I have a few questions..

Initially, could the UT-3D approach be too difficult for a beginner?


Which inks are necessary to buy for BW only? And, can I use UT-3D
Eboni, LK, LLK with the epson color inks for color printing, with 
good results?

There are no ICC's and curves for the paper I'll be using (permajet
delta matt fibre, at least at first), will I still be able to get 
acceptable results?


Thanks,
Espen
