use of ink limiting on luster papers?

use of ink limiting on luster papers?

2006-10-24 by Randy Laskody

Hello, I am needing to reprofile ilford pearl because of a print head
change. I will also be making a profile for a new lexjet 300gm luster
product I am trying out. The last profile I made for ilford pearl I
had some problems with the blacks blocking up a little so I lowered
the contrast of the profile in print fix and got it acceptable. I was
wondering what ink limiting does and whether I should mess with it or
not. 

When I print my color test charts to decide on the best paper
selection the darks are always kind of blocky. I tried dropping the
ink limiting 10 and 20% and noticed a drop in overall density but not
much better gradients in the blacks. Might have helped a little.
Proofing paper semimatte setting seems the best.  Testing those paper
charts seems to be the biggest hassle of this whole process. 

Anybody use this slider much?

Thanks
