I profiled a POSTER COLOR MATTE for the HP 5500 where I had to multi- channel limit in order to be able to print patches. The limits where something like 1.8 to 2 throughout the 7 steps, consequently I had to set the black compensation to 4.5 to bring back the gradients. I profiled leaving the limit to 400% at build time and it actually looks okay, however I'm thinking that the 280 principle would still apply because as stated by eye4clr the limit at ICC options basically controls how much CMY will lay on top of K and at some point usually beyond 280, there is no visual difference. I will rebuild this profile at 280 later to verify. JC.
