The simple anwser is most people are not sure how to explain "color" because it's something a little different to each person and it is a complicated process.
You're tweaking light.
When your trying to get your printer to print grays from Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black, you need to be able to recognize if your printing only black, or are the other colors involved. This is usually determined by your application and the printer driver being used.
Gray balence is a very critical balence because any one of the 3 colors can sway the "gray balence".
Too much Magenta is typical.
You can adjust your monitor to look like what your printer will print is one way to start. Make your work look good on the monitor and it should print okay. Remember your monitor is showing you RGB and the printer is printing CMYK.
This is not a good way to handle this.
--OR--
You can use the ICC profiles already made (or should come with your Konika printer) and use those in the applications' preferences to set up with. Remeber ICC's are color-space specific as in one for an RGB monitor and a CMYK one for the printing device.
ICC profiles are used to control the intent for an output device to represent what the image will look like a printing press, or a proofing device, or a monitor, etc.
You're trying to get 2 different things to match in 2 different color spaces.
I've worked for printing companies over 20 years and this is not an "easy anwser" question because of all the variables.
