Olivier has informed you already but:
On a 3000 you may be lucky if you get the limit above 50.
Limiting the other inks is usually only done if there are 
gloss problems, irregular patterns in that ink channel or 
detail loss somewhere in the middle of the greyscale due to 
too much ink. Most of the time it isn't needed.
