Hello dfaprinting,

>Very interesting. Wonder why, and how much color is really there. 

The 3 shades of black allow a much finer gradation of tones, but being
all carbon, by themselves they will be warm and need to be toned to be
cooler (or any other setting).  So, like the other RIPs, the colors
are added in in small amounts.  The yellow is surprising because in
the past Y was the least fade resistant and caused metamerism, and the
other RIPS avoided using it.

Regards,
Clayton
