Spectral ink simulator
Spectral ordered ink/paint soft proofing and separation engine. In the upper left corner we see the substrate, followed by subsequent layers of colorant in the configuration.Most of the colors references by name are internal presets for spectral measurements - wheras entries with 'rgb ? ? ?' entries indicate synthesized spectrums.

These images represents recent advances in these experiments - the code that did these seperations continues existing as part of the spectral core in coloritto /pippin.
