You specify which ink, along with its maximum density, for each position, there is not 
restriction as to order.  Then you turn on or off positions before you linearize to 
control what is printing.  I assume SP computes the mix internally, and so far with the 
PT WN and PT Sel sets the prints I'm getting are beautiful.

You can have multiples of the same ink, as in the PiezoTones, SP seems to handle 
them in the same way as the ProRIP.  I think Bill Bergh confirmed on the Pro list it 
alternates between multiples. For all intents and purposes you could load vegetable 
dyes into your printer and linearize...
