Inkjet Proofer Separation Parameters

I am profiling a commercial printer's HP5000PS inkjet proofer, which they have carefully calibrated to their presses. I'm using ProfileMaker 3.1.5. When setting the Separation Parameters for the profile, should I use the numbers I got from the prepress manager (UCR,Total Ink 310%, Maximum Black 98%, and Black Start ?) or should I use one of the canned Inkjet Separation Parameter sets in ProfileMaker?

BTW, I've found the Black Start parameter to be very confusing both for me (especially me) and many of the prepress managers I deal with. Does ProfileMaker 4.0 clarify this issue? Can someone offer a understandable explanation of Black Start? (For the situation outlined above, I'll probably use a black start setting of 40%.)

Thank you,
