I was considering if Hexachrome (or similar) inkset could be used to make
such a target.
The gamut of Hexachrome is about twice that of CMYK, but the inks has got a
small quantity of fluorescent color added in order to maximize the gamut.
Like CMYK, Hexachrome lacks gamut in the blue area. 

Does somebody here know if it is feasible to use Hexachrome inkset (pigment
or dye) for targets?
