Hmmmm.. Maybe that's why they are called SMALL Gamut?

IF you're expecting to get ultra-saturated monotone colors  you're gonna 
need a full-gamut set (and accept the lesser degree of individual tonal 
control and potentially higher metameric issues) or you'll have to 
design and mix a tone specific one from available carriers, dyes, and 
pigments.

It's just a thought...
