There are a few things that require more control and more channels. Print *can* go to devices that split the color up into four process colors, six process colors or more. Some colors are a single ink unto themselves and need to be managed individually. Some inks are UV coatings/varnishes that go over the top of other things. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UV_coating

It can get quite complex, and hardware specific.
