Been thinking and asking about that for years and it usually
ends with an ICC profile that has been edited by taking out
all saturation. Dr. Pro can do that for you too. It might be
useful for the K3 range of printers (I don't know) but it was
of no use for the printers before it. It isn't doing a better
job than a custom ICC color profile that gives good neutrals.
