I think more to the point than imaginary colors, is that if the target
does not include colors at and beyond the ability of the device to
capture, we're really seeing the 3d space defined by the target, not the
device. The targets I have used general don't really test the limits of a
good drum scanner, though they do include as much if not more than
necessary for the work required. How this relates to sensor capture is
outside my knowledge.. but most certainly there are luminosity and color
limitations that could be determined somehow? For what it's worth?
