In any case the firmware is going to separate the data stream unless it's
using multichannel profiles. How can rgb better control a separated black
channel?

So is this rgb as in a rgb rip as the Fiery for Epsons or as you say later
the Fuji Pictro rip (non FujiProof). Yes rgb profiling is easy. How does
this relate to CMYK Postscript device output?

Getting into black magic here. Is it creating CSA's and CRD's then?

Trying to cut through this ad jargon. Sub-drivers would be then base
linearisations for media types?

This would be firmware on Epsons mixing the Ultachrome blacks I'm guessing.

I'm sure that other developers would do the same and set a budget for the
client appropriately. Or are you suggesting that this a free for the asking.

Commercially offered we can agree. On this list there are quite a few
lurkers that have and do have development knowledge on spectral engine
conversions. There will be many to come out in the near future. This is the
long winded effort coming to see the CM market now. Exciting stuff, but not
exclusive to one recent developer.

Could you tell me where Fuji licensed or collaborated it's CM technologies?
