Actually, I am proofing Hexachrome press files to a range of CMYK, CcMmYK and
CMYKOG devices with assorted RIPs for comparison and testing. The "something"
that you are missing is that PressHexachrome is needed because PressCMYK is
quite a limited gamut... for inkjets with their wider gamut the choice exists
of getting a few more of the Pantone colors to proof accurately by using OG,
or to get the smoother images by using the light C&M... few images actually
need the OG for gamut enlargement. If you want both at once, then yes, an
eight color device is your only choice.

I can't imagine there are too many *secrets* involved... <G>
