Is a SG inkset more complex than mixing a 4 tone quad inkset with a CMYK
inkset of the same manufacturer ?
The most simple mix would be 50% Y to 50 % (yellow)grey, etc. A MIS mix of
pigment inks must be the easiest.
Spectratone with Wide Spectrum for a dye version. As I understand it
American Ink was the only other manufacturer of a SG inkset and they never
launched it. Could be a patent issue (Joseph Holmes) of course.
