Vehicle Wrap - Looking for Feedback Critique

We actually use both. All depends on the desired outcome. We have some known colors that work better as CMYK and others look better as rgb. If a pantone is used we'll output as a pdf. That seems to print the closest to what the pms swatch book shows. Rgb files are much smaller too.

This can be fixed to be optimized and consistent.

Understand that your 6 colors are built “enhance” CMYK prints, and achieve harder to reach colors with CMYK as a basis. White point will greatly alter color appearance as well, and that will vary from stock to stock even using the same printer.

If the 2 extra ink colors are light magenta and light cyan, one does not necessarily have more gamut than if one had only 4 inks. Those extra ink colors give smoother gradations and print quality but not more gamut.

It allows you to better hit certain colors and mimic PMS colors better. By default that increases your color gamut, but technically you are correct.
