Sorry for the delayed result.  I was busy over the weekend lowering my skin's L* value.

I don't know if I can agree with such a blanket statement considering there is no first-
hand experience with the software in question as originally requested.

"No chance" would be more like expecting beautiful color from quad blacks than dead 
nuetral with CcMmYK.  If it can be done with the UC inkset with its very brown black, 
it can be done with inksets that have other limitations as well.  How that applies here 
is unknown at this point.

ErgoSoft, ColorByte and Wasatch are all three very different.  Just because a feature is 
present (or not in some cases) doesn't mean it works the same or provides exactly the 
same results.  These differences in philosophy are the key difference between 
ImagePrint and StudioPrint that allows the two products to coexist in the 
photographic marketplace so effectively.  The fundamental philosophies and 
methodologies are very different.  Where they may appear to be the same, they are 
not as is the case with ErgoSoft and Wasatch RIPs.  The features may look exactly the 
same but they are not.

It may very well be too difficult or impossible to achieve the desired result with this 
inkset but I would suggest going through the evaluation process objectively as 
opposed to making or accepting a global assumption, however well intented.  Until 
it's scientifically verified, it's not fact but theory.  At this point, the "no chance" 
statement is theory until proven otherwise.

To drive a point home before I start a flame throwing war: It may very well be too 
difficult or impossible to achieve the desired result with this inkset but I would 
suggest going through the evaluation process objectively.

I'm not so arrogant as to say that StudioPrint is the one single product for every 
scenario and every user.  That's exactly why we have such a liberal evaluation policy, 
so you can make an informed decision based upon the facts as they apply specifically 
to you.  You can decide yourself without having to sift through opinion, assumption 
and theory.

Thanks for the podium,

Robert
