Every desktop printer driver only accepts RGB data. So if you work in
CMYK and print from it, your program first converts it to RGB.
Add to that, in most programs even if you set it to 100% anything CMYK
it will set it back to what it thinks can be printed.
The key here anyway is to get the -photo- cyan and magenta inks
printing. Those are the ones with UV protectant in them. So a light
green would be better, as it doesn't need to use the lighter photo
inks when printing dark green.
Why not print some strips that shade from dark to light green, and
with differing shades and expose and see what works best?
