Maybe. It depends if there's a useful printing process there or not.
It doesn't actually matter what the physics of the process is, there
just needs to be one where (for a notionally CMY or CMYK process),
zero toner = a light/whiteish color, and maximum toner = a dark/blackish color,
and there is some logical control over the hue of the color being reproduced.
People have used print profiling on fired ceramic glazes with modest success,
and they often have fairly bizarre responses compared to a press.
But it's unclear what sort of printing process David Lewis has.
Conceptually it could be more like an RGB additive process, if
(say) the illuminant is actually UV and if three colorants emit Redish,
Greenish and Bluish light under UV, and the substrate is black. But if
that is the case, then it would need to be profiled as an RGB device.
Cheers,
Graeme.
