The example plot
<http://digitalproof.info/argyll/inklimits-ab.pdf> suggests that cyan can't contribute much to the gamut when it's driven beyond the bend. But where is the optimal point to clip it?

Considering another view of the same data (the Lightnes-Croma plane), one could draw a different conclusion: <http://digitalproof.info/argyll/inklimits-CL.pdf>

With this said, I have no idea how to get down to a impartial, reproducible ink limiting method.

Maybe maximizing the distance (Delta E) to the gamut center (approx. Lab 50/0/0) cloud be a basic approach?:
