Sure; I've built PrintFIX PRO profiles for K3 printers on various media with 
ink density settings reduced by these amounts, and significantly more. It a 
compromise, to some degree, between shadow detail and color gamut. So I'm 
working on tools to give me both. A more direct answer: a modest reduction like -3 
should be   no problem in building a color profile, may improve shadow detail, 
and will hardly effect color gamut.
