Let's step back. You printed the InkSeparation file the first time by setting the Mode to 
QuadTone Rip Calibration in the driver. You selected no curves and used the other settings 
in the driver as appropriate. If not, my suggestions below may not help.

If you did as I outlined above, to use your ink limit, don't make a curve. Just print the 
InkSeparation.psd file again- using the QuadTone Rip Calibration Mode again (important).  
Then, don't select any curves (you don't have any yet) but select a Tone Blend option. If 
your ink limit is 70% then choose 70-30 in the tone blend. This blends 70% plus nothing, 
giving you the inkSepartion file at 70%.

I had to ask this question more than once before I got an answer that made sense. This 
works.
