No.

PP is a scanner based color printer profiling system, and even the
best of those is not worth bothering with. Tacking other functionality
on top of a program that is not useful to begin with is a waste of
time and money. If I were not capable of writing a tool to measure
grayscale densities using a scanner, I would consider buying a lower
priced tool intended specifically for that purpose. But not something
carrying color profiling baggage.
