There are actually more B&W specific functions in PrintFIX PRO than in other 
color profiling products. Since these inks can be used with the RGB driver, in 
appropriate color order, it should be possible to profile them with PrintFIX 
PRO, though that won't control the tone of non-toned inks like FSN. I have not 
heard (that I recall, at least) from anyone using your specific combination, 
but its certainly worth trying. Personally, I'd recommend the MIS UT3D inks, 
as they profile very nicely with PrintFIX PRO, and give you a nice range of 
controllable tints and crosstints via a PFP profile.
