That is what I would think, too.

However, I am not quite sure how you get the default or actual total ink
limit value - in gutenprint, there is default "none", while other values
are "custom" and scale from 0 to 7. Or is the % available in the source
code?

Or should I simply create few dark patches with targen and TAC at 400%,
then print them out with gutenprint ink limit number starting from low
to high and measure the printed dark patches until I get the lowest "L"
from Lab, while still the print being fine visually (no over-inking).

Then to continue with targen using some high TAC down to low TAC,
measure the printed dark/saturated patches and once there will be a
change, consider the previous TAC % as the one close/equal to gutenprint
setting?
