That is the main reason why I put this idea here, I hope someone writes that
it is quite easy or 'pay attention to etc'. Of course I don't think that my
idea is unique. Mixing an existing quad set with an existing CMYK set to get
a Small Gamut set must have crossed a lot of minds. So I do hope that people
with a bit of mixing history fill in what trouble I can expect. But a bit
more specific than 'it is difficult'.

To fine tune the ink it is necessary to measure the stepwedge print results
of a linearised printer of course.
To control mixing and imitate existing quad sets etc it goes faster when
there are readings of the ink in the cuvettes. That will speed up the job.
