Use Tools:Measure; and measure the "pure black" patch in the target
that you've printed and that you're going to build a profile from.
(This will be patch 1A, the first patch).

The density value you measure will be dMax; how dark the black patch
is will depend completely on the printer driver settings, because
you've printed the target with no color management in the driver. How
much ink gets put down (and which inks go into the black patch) is
determined by the internals of the printer driver; primarily, this comes
from the paper/media type setting, but it will also be affected by output
resolution/print quality/speed.
