The easiest test for this is probably to run a nozzle check. Then find out
which gray density ink should go into which color position, and see if it
matches on your nozzle test pattern.

For instance if the nozzle test sequence (I'm making this sequence up cause
I don't remember the real order) is CcMmY, and you know that the C position
takes the darkest ink after black, see if it's the darkest in your nozzle
test, if the Magenta position takes the next darkest ink, is it's position
the next darkest in the nozzle test, and so on....
