Black/gray/gray prints would be non-neutral, would show more tint on some 
media than others, and would not necessarily offer an even, intentional looking 
ramp of non-neutral colors. Preferences in sepia prints vary... and 
black/gray/gray only printing would open up a world of complaint from those who don't 
understand its intrinsic limitations. I'm not too suprised it isn't offered.
