IT8 for old 126 Negative Film

I am scanning a lot of old 126 Negative Film on a Epson V750-Pro. My question is about IT8 Profiles. Can I use IT8 with my project? I don't know what type of film I have other then a lot of it is Kodak. Is there any way to use IT8 for my project with out having a negative of a color chart in the exact film that I'm scanning? or Is there some sort of base line process for the scanner that I should use?
Thanks for your help!

Dear LECYNKAR,

Basically it is not possible to use IT8 calibration with Negatives. You would need to have a specific target for every single emulsion you are going to scan. For that purpose we have created NegaFix which contains more than 120 profiles for different film emulsions.
You can find some information on how to work with NegaFix here (video tutorials and documentation to the left and right side):
