QTR-Quadtone RIP

Its not necessarily true that fewer colours in the mix would lead to 
less long term colour shift.  Some time ago there was a suggestion that 
yellow in the mix reduced long term colour shift (yellow fading 
offisetting the warming of the black inks), but in turn meant other 
colours were needed to balance the yellow (and the initial warmth of the 
blacks). I don't know what conclusions came from any testing, but these 
things are never as simple as they seem!
The ease (and control) of split toning is a definite plus!
