Good question, John.

If that is a test, then I will fail it, as I have little knowledge of ICC
profiles and how they work.  Generally, at least until I discovered the
utility described above, I relied on my graphics editor to provide me with
grayscale graphics for the inside of the magazine.

On the other hand, if your question was really a suggestion, the previous
statement may let you know that I have no clue which ICC profile would be
appropriate.

Nonetheless, thanks.
