For RIP developers already supporting n-color ink models, this will merely be
one more implimentation; less troublesome than the 2200, frankly, since it
has enough on-board memory to hold its own microweave dithering algorithms, so
they won't have to be produced by the RIP and sent over a piece at a time. For
RGB driver profiling, the extra inks will be invisible, though not in exactly
the same way that light component inks are. Even the possibility of extra
gamut clipping is remote with RGB, since it has peaks at Red and Blue... CMYK
profiles may well miss some of the advantages of the Red and Blue gamut
improvements with some profiling and RIPping software, however.
