  Would the C,M,LC, and LM be be required in such a set up?

The inkset is unclear. RGB wil certainly help for color, depending on how all these inks are 
addressed. But the black/gray setup is not clear. It's sounding like there is a K and light K for 
photo, and a K and light K for matte. I also wonder how flexable this will be for non-standard 
setups, more grays, RIP support, etc..

But it sounds like C,M,Y,LC,LM,R,G,B,PK,PLK,MK, MLK.
So really, "only" 10 inks on at once?
K + LK puts us back to pre K3 UC B&W quality. OK, but no advance. What seems to have been 
overlooked by much of the industry, is what the K7 ink has revealed. For strict B&W 
photographic image quality, more grays is in fact better. I'm not talking about what may be 
good enough, that's subjective, just talking about objectively better. Two Ks are obvioulsy 
fine for some.

On the other hand, a full K7 setup for K with with C, M, Y, LC, LM... now we're talking.
