I made my own profiles. The ink limits are much lower than the profiles 
done for 1440dpi. For example, a UT-FS set up I have has limits of 55% 
for K & 40% for the lighter inks.

If you are unable to make your own profiles I've heard it suggested that 
having a large negative value for the Ink Limit Adjustment (say -40) 
reduces the amount of ink being laid down. I guess you could also use 
the gamma adjustment to do the same thing in the higher zones.
