Here is that email for those interested...anyone try MIS and PFP?

-------------

When we're building our own profiles, you have to start with a color 
target, and add the gray target as a supplement.

However:

You can also try the following: your mileage may vary: some people 
have reported success with this,
using certain 3rd party inksets like some MIS:

- Print the color target through the MIS inks; measure it (yes, 
it'll all be "gray"); and then
  try building a profile from that, as if it had been a color 
target. PFP will think about
  this a long time, but you may end up with something quite good.

- If so, try adding the Extended Grays to the mix, printed and 
measured the same way.

- Don't worry if PFP looks like it's frozen; it's working; it may 
take a few minutes
  to work it's way through things if you feed it all grays this way, 
instead of colors.
