Thank you, Tyler. I needed that! Do you or anyone you know, use "Printao 8"?

So it's not going to make good use of N channel profiles irrelevant of having a CMYK+ printer. After putting years into a 9900, Ergosoft RIP with individual channel control, both it's GPS N channel profiler and i1 Publishes N channel options, I have to give credit to the RGB to individual ink channel LUTs and screening in the black box Epson driver. The N channel approach for fine art photo inkjet was useful for niche processes, but standard color printing on quality inkjet coated media, the complexities of the process and the lack of superior results over the OEM screening, after years of tinkering, left me mostly with more gray hair. I don't recommend it unless doing unusual work, the Roland Davinci was a similar setup, and you can drive n channel HPs and Canons with that RIP (and others I'm sure) as well. I was totally committed to the idea that expert user control over everything about how the ink went down should yield superior results, and blew years and dollars on it. There seems to be a fundamental difference between the way a profile conversion builds new channels, based on years of color management practices carried over from CMYK work, and the way contemporary printer drivers build ink channels from RGB input, that was my conclusion...
