Monaco Proof is supplied with a reduced ink target set for such situations,
and Monaco Profiler was supposed to have variable ink capacity for targets,
though I can't confirm that this feature was in the shipping version. You may
be using an older piece of software, and have to apply your ink limiting
elsewhere... but be sure that its someplace available later, to use in
conjunction with the profiles created through it.
