Not really, since the tools primary aim is color accuracy (but then I don't
have your
.ti3, so I'm only guessing as to what's going on). Forcing 300% out for
some L*a*b* that it doesn't actually produce, is not color accurate.

I'm not sure why that would be if your aim is color output. Halftone is there
to emulate continuous control over the colorants. So 80% output for L*a*b* = 0
is (I
suspect, since I don't have your .ti3 to look at) working as intended,
reproducing
the darkest possible neutral color.

No, it's not making much sense since you aren't saying why you want what you
want.
