Other findings are:
- the absorption of the secondary colours (R, G, B) is not the sum of the 
absorption of the primary (Y, M, C) ones like one would assume. This happens 
with all the wavelengths and as to do with the printer colour management and 
perhaps with the particular inkset including light M and C.
- the absorption of a colour reduced by 50% (e.g. for Y: 255, 128, 255) is 
as low as about 15-20%. This is really puzzling to me, and I have no 
explanation.
