Whatever they're doing, if you look at a plot of the gamut, you see that
they're often showing that the printer / paper is capable of outputting L=0,
a=0, b=0, with a huge color range at L values not much higher. Considering some
of these papers don't even come close to single-digit L values, I think it's
safe to suggest that there's something not kosher going on....
