I thought we were talking about CMY filters that match a known CMY set of
INKS, not about a process analogous to that of chromogenic processes that
use CMY light sources. Weren't we? Or are we just talking as if the two
technologies were equivalent (which they seem to me not to be)?

But...there cannot be such a thing as a REFLECTIVE monitor display that is
self-luminous! It's either self-luminous (i.e., EMISSIVE) or not (i.e.,
REFLECTIVE). Which of the two?
The Amazon Kindle is a reflective display, since it has no self-luminous
qualities. But we don't expect these CMY monitors to act similarly to the
Kindle, do we?
Are you saying that we will have to shine a light at these CMY displays to
make them work? That would come as news to me.

And remain self-luminous in either case?
Am I alone in feeling more than a bit puzzled by all this?
