With pencils this nice, it took 3 inkers to perfect the presentation I suppose - I'm always curious about which inker did what on the page (or if they split up duties over different pages in the book and this was only inked by 1 or a specific combination of them)...but regardless it looks really great.

99% of the time they are working on their own pages. On rare occasions, books with multiple inker credits might have more than one inker working on the same page, and that would likely happen if the inkers were sharing a studio. One guy might be tasked with doing all the backgrounds while another one handles the human figures, for example.
