You can put DayGlo brand fluorescent CMYK inks in your printer, profile the
resulting colors, and end up with a great big output space that needs to be
served from a great big RGB workingspace to be effective. Beware of Lab
clipping, however... <G>
Oh, you will have difficulty viewing your saturated colors on the monitor as
well, so you may need to play with Photoshop's monitor desaturataion control
to get a perceptual compression to check the out of gamut colors. What you
really have to do is use an inkjet with DayGlo inks to proof for your
presswork with DayGlo inks. And if you *really* want to get into it, you need
to build profiles with a double gated spectro, so you can gauge what color
(or for Steve, also what non-colors <G>) of incoming light is causing what
amount of reflected color at each band of the spectum. Such spectros are very
slow, and very expensive!
Do I hear any volunteers?
