I have tested PrintFIX PRO 2 profiling (no extended grays needed with gray 
inks) with UT-7 but not with UT-2. In theory it should work, but without trying 
it, I can't say more than a "should work" prediction. Even Cone K6 and K7 
inksets prove to profile nicely with PFP2. With the UT-7s, it made as neutral a 
profile as the ink/paper combination would allow, but offers much less gamut to 
adjust within than the UT-3Ds offer, and the gamut is in quite tight a line, 
so moving the controls to tint within the inks gamut is a bit trickier than in 
the somewhat larger gamut of the UT-3Ds.
