Mostly to control the black generation and shift any worming it may cause to
the least visible location. With the newer printers the black dots are so
small I find myself chasing worms a lot less, and controlling CMYK blends for
metamerism minimization a lot more. Besides, with controls for light and dark
component blends, such as those that ColorBurst offers, CMYK offers all the
control over CcMmYKk you need without depending on the RIP for all the
seperation/limitation/generation functions (and being stuck with what they
offer), and without the anguish of multichannel profiling. Otherwise, all a
RIP is, is a smarter RGB driver.
