This is even more clear now,thanks Paul!
Looks like the only device I need is a screen colorimeter to calibrate my
monitor...

>The problem is that a quadtone (or hextone) inkset typically uses the
manufacturer's RGB driver, letting it believe that it is actually printing
in color. When printing color, there is only one combination of R, G and B
values that will translate into any particular color, but when printing with
quadtones, there may be many different combinations that yield the same
density of gray. Profiling software, which expects to operate on colors,
will be hopelessly confused by the many test patches which look like the
same color of gray.
