Well, only if thats the workflow thats desired. But yes, if you want  
to use profiles for neutral prints, or to control near neutral tints,  
cross-tints, or tints-to-paper-white, then using the color mode and  
Spyder3Print SR is the most likely route to that, especially with  
third party inks. There is a significant cost of entry (I think the  
list price in the US is $339 at the moment, perhaps a bit less at some  
web resellers), but you can continue to use it for any other B&W  
system you choose to get involved in, that needs measurements made for  
control curves etc, such as through QTR.
