Digital BW, The Print

Joseph Holmes' patented Small Gamut ink concept was in itself not a bad 
idea in my opinion. It is another matter that Lyson used the wrong 
approach with dye inks that would fade and it also paid not enough 
attention to "metamerism" with those inks. Considering the higher 
resolutions, smaller droplets of today's inkjet printers and far better 
pigment inks available now I would expect a better Small Gamut printer 
could be possible. In Paul's mixing the color inks are not avoided 
either or better said they can not be avoided. Small Gamut inks should 
fit OEM drivers easier than any other custom quad mixture I guess. Not 
to mention adapted ICC color management.

Any thoughts on this?
I see that Lyson dropped the Small Gamut inks from their program like it 
dropped more water based inksets.
