Christoph (?),
please let me refer again to the mentioned original poster, who
had triggered this thread:

He had shown an interesting link to paintings with extremely
vibrant (saturated and bright) blue colors, like Pantone spot
blues.

So far I can't see any chance to get these paintings printed by
any average CMYK Offset printing process.
Pantone Hexachrome could have been used to reproduce these
images, but - as predicted by Dan Margulis - this process is
simply too expensive for daily stuff, because one would need
not only a 6-press equipment but a 7-press machinery, con-
sidering the necessity for additional varnish.
Finally I would like to add a polemical comment (after reading
really much about Newton's prism experiment and Goethe's
objections):
All those, who are actually working with not less than 16 bits
per channel in nothing less valid than ProPhotoRGB, should take
care, how they could get their stuff printed.
Remember - printing is an irreversibly destructive image pro-
cessing process.
