For any inkset as I remember, but a CMYK printer profile that 
also has the black generation etc incorporated.  For a RIP that 
can handle CMYK printer profiles.  So not an RGB printer profile 
for an Epson driver for example.  The thread at that time didn't 
discuss metamerism but given the same goal, neutral greys and 
less color use it would give less metamerism too I think.

One way to get my memory refreshed is by asking for such a 
profile in the colorsync list. Rich Grey didn't google.
