Re: RGB vs CMYK: some experiments

This statement is true as the "default" CMYK set-up in Photoshop will
attempt to gray balance the channels based on the spectral qualities of
SWOP inks; but, for those so inclined, you can measure the L*a*b*
coordinates of you gum pigments as they print on paper and replace the
SWOP values with your pigment values in the custom ink set-up.
Theoretically, Photoshop should attempt gray balance based specifically
on your gum pigments (this, of course, assumes that you are trying to
achieve realistic color using CMY pigments).
