No, even in a 8 bpcc image there is far more detail than you need.  Even
with just 4 bpcc you still get good output images - try it in grayscale,
that is less expensive than color.  And with color you actually need less
information if you only have the same density in case of those printing
methods where you cannot really mix colors.
