Assuming this is the question you want answered, then yes, you then use this profile for both color, and for neutral B&W. You can also use it for tinted B&;W, if you choose to tint in Photoshop, using the softproof of the printer profile to guide your tinting. Or you can tint the profile in PFP2, and print neutral or grayscale images to the tinted profile, if you prefer. See the PFP2 Help tutorials on these topics.
