Right, that often is the case. On the other hand the print viewed in our 
hands and then put in a frame behind glass never gets the lighting we 
judged it with.

That said I would take the patch that gives the highest spectrometer 
density with no dotgain (it often isn't the 100% patch) and partitionate 
the rest of inks accordingly, preferably even out maximum ink amount 
over the grey inks. Linearise and after that you can still make the 
print lighter to match the display conditions.
