Will this system or any profile system work with a printer that has 12

until the new 17" Canon with 12 inks announced. Any information would
be helpful.
A twelve channel printer actually helps make it clear that channel specific profiling isn't necessary; figuring all the cross channel values for 12 channels would be a huge task. And of course any printer that prints via a standard OS level driver can't send data thats not in RGB anyhow. So while the printer has RGB, CMY and other color components, the driver is doing the channel seperations, and an RGB profile for the RGB files being sent to the driver is all that is needed.
