Open up a profile and look which inks are being used. As an example from EnhanceMatte-
Warm profile:

LIMIT_K=
BOOST_K=90
LIMIT_C=0
LIMIT_M=0
LIMIT_Y=0
LIMIT_LC=0
LIMIT_LM=0
LIMIT_LK=60

You will notice only Black and LightBlack ink is being used. LightBlack is being used one-
third less than Black.
