No, just making a grey control strip.

I don't now much about Heidelberg's utility. I know that CMY 50 40 40
is a typical target for grey balance (sheet-fed offset). I guess,
based on the data from a calibration print (like ECI2002 or IT8.7/4)
CtP correction curves could be calculated to achieve grey balance at
i.e. 50 40 40.

Yes, that would be nice.
