The question is not whether the RIP can do this, its what inkset you would 
need to accomplish it. The ColorByte RIP is designed to be used with 
grayscale inks for grayscale work, or with color inks for color work. If you 
wish to do both (as your examples describe), then you will not get any of the 
special advantages of the grayscale system, and will be dependent on the 
color profiles to produce your grays with the color inks.
