Does it mean that I shouldn't use -nc option in colprof if I want to set the 
total ink limit in collink?

What does the total ink limit parameter mean for colprof when the calibration 
curves are provided? For example I have the calibration with limits detected by 
printcal C=79% M=68% Y=48% K=52%. If all channels is at their maximums, will 
the summ be account in colprof/collink as 247% or 400%?
