Hi,

Will this system or any profile system work with a printer that has 12 
channels with both RGB and CMYK components?  Had not thought of this 
until the new 17" Canon with 12 inks announced.  Any information would 
be helpful.
Thanks

Paul Hathaway

Thanks.  That makes sense and is obvious after I think about it.  
Using a RIP with individual channel adjustment for ink limiting and 
equalization could get pretty complicated, but that is a different 
issue.
