Of course there is always the question, will the print show the added color space or does the printer just down sample it internally? I would guess the later, so it would just be a convenience. Basically paper and ink will only reflect so much light. To get more you would have to print a transparency. It is simple physics. Luckily most photographers believe in physics, over on an audio forum I have noticed that they mostly believe in magic.
