Description
The set of inks used in a separated (PhotometricInterpretation=5) image.
The specification defines these values:
1 = CMYK. The order of the components is cyan, magenta, yellow, black. Usually, a value of 0 represents 0% ink
coverage and a value of 255 represents 100% ink coverage for that component, but see DotRange. The InkNames
field should not exist when InkSet=1.
2 = not CMYK. See the InkNames field for a description of the inks to be used.
LibTiff defines:
