Digital BW, The Print

For hue control, toning, tinting, still primarily for mono or near mono work. I think for 
color the RGB inks are the step up in quality. But with this you'd really have a normal CMYK 
setup with a completely dotless high resolution and smooth nuetral axis. Then you'd send 
it RGB files tinted for warm, split tone, selenium, etc., whatever comes to mind. Your CMYK 
profile would have max GCR for this. Send it a neutral file and it'll primarily be all the K 
inks with some slight addition of the others for a good neutral. Of course as you send it 
warm or cold files more color ink is used, but still most of it will be the 7 K inks.
StudioPrint could do it already, the DVinci system already is heading in that direction, but 
with 4 blacks (Cone), and additional colors.
All this is just day dreaming, far outside my budgets...
