I was hoping you'd jump in on this one Austin, you're right of course. But I still think of it differently and the quote strikes me 
as a bit off. I think of how the inks are mixed (or not) as being accomplished by either ramping in the driver, or curves built 
into the profiles. Or in the case of a CMYK RIP, preparation of the 4 channel file, and/or profiles again. To me, these are 
channel adjustments at some stage of the data flow, which is then turned into dots (dithering). Two separate issues.
Make sense?
