To my experience on proofing paper, an a/b plot on each CMY color tend
to curve (or L plot plateau for K) well before any paper saturation
occurs. Maybe you are putting on too much ink per color to begin with?
Have you done a/b plots for CMY colors and L plot for K?

After that you determined the ink limit for CMYK colors you need to
determine the total ink limit and now it really comes to how much ink
the paper could take. Practical drying time and rub-off resistance
versus minimum L.

This is the basics and maybe you've already tried it :-)
