Limit has to do with the quantity of ink used.  100 is max amount of ink.
50 would be 50%.  It's mainly an issue of how much ink the paper can absorb.
Density is for relative density of a lighter ink compared with a darker ink.

The "warm" curves are all just K, LK, and LLK.  If you want to tweak I'd
start with some existing curves.
