Digital BW, The Print

I'm comfortable with four ink printers (3000 & C80).  I started 
wondering about six ink printers since that's what is currently 
available (1160's going the way of Edsel's).

If one went with a six ink printer they could in theory load a four 
ink set and two additional types of black ink, such as MIS VM & a 
Full Spectrum black.

Potential complications...might need to keep it to all pigment or all 
dye based, safest to stay within a brand of ink provider?

Could print out by zero-ing out the non-used black inks from their 
respective channel (fill white or use curves)...that way the info 
wouldn't be sent to the printer?

IF you wanted to try a different black for a particular image you 
would 'Apply image' the current black channel into either the light c 
or light m channels (I'm presuming that is where I would plug in the 
additional full blacks).

Realizing the slight absurdity of the idea I'll finish with a 
favorite quote...

"ON ANALYZING DETAILS - Intellect distinguishes between the possible 
and the impossible; reason distinguishes between the sensible and the 
senseless.  Even the possible can be senseless."  Max Born, scientist.
