Hi,

When profiling a CMYK device there will be a large number of dark
patches because the various levels of K need to be explored, so
that the color of any level black separation can be predicted.

The default OFPS is generally a good place to start, it's main
weakness in V1.0.4 being that it doesn't place enough
test patches on the gamut surface, and doesn't take any
account of a provided profile. Another combination
that may work well is to provide a previous profile
and select a moderate amount of adaptive test point
placement (-A0.2 say).

[V1.1.0 will improve on this a great deal.]
