No, full color. I can't think of any software off hand that allows one to make a 
true grayscale profile. We need that. ProfileMaker Pro allows you to make a 
CMYK profile, then save out just the information about black channel and end 
up with a grayscale profile but that's not going to fly. I'm meeting with a few 
companies next week at Seybold that make profile software and on the top of 
my list is the ability to make a true grayscale profile. 

The profiles from ImagePrint are made using ColorByte's own profile software. 
They will make you a profile if you wish (and I think it's free). They supply a 
target (grayscale as well). I was told they are considering selling this profiling 
package which would be a solution for building profiles for the gray inkset.
