Daniel,

this is the point that OpenPrintMaker (OPM) comes to the rescue with Inkjet 
Control (IJC) - assuming you have a Mac around. You can make a perfect 
profile for just those ink positions and get rid of all the color inks (in the 
profile).  Ideally you would need a gray ink that is lighter or darker than the 
existing light gray, not the same. Even so, profiling this combowouldn't be a 
big deal with IJC, and you'd be printing neutral (or toned) bw in short order.
