Digital BW, The Print

As always,I'm trying to consistently match my mono prints (MIS-UT-FSN,Epson 1160,matte and smooth pearl paper). 
So I wrote to a known professional profiler maker to see if I could have one made for this combinations. I quote the answer:

" Quad-tone ink sets require proprietary software code to be used instead of the standard color ink set.  Standard color ICC profiles are not useable with these ink sets because of the proprietary software code.  The only place you can get profiles for quad-tone ink sets is from the supplier of the specific ink set.  "

I'm not sure I understand what the problem is...If one has the spectrophotometer,the printed patch and the profiling software,what's the problem?
