I am a bit confused about the comments here referring to the printing of these 'gicl�es'.
Gicl�es are not lithographs. They are exclusively (I am almost certain of this) printed using inkjet technology. This can be anything from an Iris printer down to a desktop inkjet. But it is not a litho printer. Many gicl�es are printed on Epson printers nowadays, though I much prefer the look of the endurachrome dyes on my Colorspan 11 colour inkset. As far as I am aware, all inkjets (all those I have worked with, though I stand to be corrected regarding inkjets with which I have no experience) prefer to receive RGB files. They then convert the file to CMYK for printing using their CMYK inks. I have run 12 colours on my Colorspan (CccMmmYKROGB) and still it required an RGB file. Sending a CMYK file to this printer results in a dull print. Inkjets that receive CMYK files convert them to RGB so that it can deal with them, and then back to CMYK for printing. As you observed, if you send a CMYK file to your printer, you are already sending a much reduced gamut file, and wasting the potential of these printers.
