That's the rules of the game, I didn't make them. Actually I haven't
seen a seven color printer for quite some time, they may have
abandoned the technique.


No, it's standard on high end inkjet printers, & some use even more than
7 inks. For example, the Epson Stylus Pro 3800 uses 8 inks.


I suspect it may just be too expensive, and
think of what something like that would do to the cost of a TV set or
monitor.


It's certainly impractical for screens, yes.


There's no need for a display since it is theoretically possible to get
all visible colours from RGB. Mixing dyes is a different matter.
