QTR-Quadtone RIP

Thanks for explaining that. 

Does DEFAULT_INK_LIMIT limit the *total* amount of ink laid down - or does it specify a limit that no single ink can exceed?

If we specify the amount of each ink, then why bother with a default number? If we specify a limit for every ink, is the default limit ignored or irrelevant ?
