(And then followed Tony's fascinating discussion about SACO's cyan, red,
yellow brown [cRyB] separation technique for printing a package for
chocolates.)
I agree that for specific applications, custom inks can have distinct
advantages. My comment above spoke of gamut *size*, and I would bet that the
cRyB gamut is smaller than a standard CMYK gamut (maybe not everywhere, but
overall). I did not say (or at least I did not intend to say) that the use
of custom inks is inferior across the board.
