Smartly put if I might say so because, as I am sure you will already know,
it is all but impossible to define where a neutral leaves off and something
else begins - that being the assumption behind the old gravure technique
known to one and all as Under Colour Removal.

GCR on the other hand - as I am quite sure you will know - merely requires
the programmer to identify the least colour component in any given three
colour area and exchange it for black- and that is perfectly possible to do,
is done and works admirably by saving ink, making press colour register more
straight forward and indeed it is claimed makes the resultant image look
sharper because of better colour to colour register.

But I am sure you already know all of that very old information so I must
apologise for burdening you with a history lesson.

By the way, how does the old epson six colour handle such matters forsooth?
