These were the test sheets that Shilesh printed and tested. I was just 
the measurer. So no lk data for the Nanochromes since the r220 only has 
the 6 inks. And I'm pretty sure he said he used QTR to print these. If 
not some kind of RIP was used to drive the individual colors, there is 
definitely no mix of colors like you get trying to print yellow through 
the RGB driver.

It's kind of too bad we don't have a profile target of the control and 
fade, it would make a comparison graph. But it's unlikely that we'll 
get a chance to do this after the more basic test that has been 
performed. It looks like a really nice dye equivalent/replacement ink, 
that if used on compatible papers might be really nice. For people 
using gloss and semi gloss papers, these might be a really good 
solution since you can get that type of swellable paper, or even the 
Infu6 papers when they come out. But do note that the over inking of at 
least the black ink, so you might still need a RIP to set limits, etc.
