If you can't justify the six color press and more complex workflow of the
Hexachrome system, you can still improve your press gamut considerably by
using your standard CMYK workflow with Hexachrome's CMYK inks, without the
O&G components. These are simply brighter process inks. Of course you would
ideally need to have custom profiles built to match them to use in your
workflow, since they are not standard, but from what I see most presses are
not tightly controlled to a specific standard anyway.
