The correct TAC/ink limit is usually 400%. The printer expects to receive
that much ink, and it's does it's own ink limiting function along with a
bunch of other stuff. The actual ink limit of color lasers is quite low,
I forget exactly what it is, but it's around 200%. Building a color laser
profile with a 200% TAC will result in a profile with substantially
inferior performance than a profile using 400%TAC.

TAC is irrelevent for this purpose. It won't matter if you build the
profile with 200% TAC or 400% TAC. The on-screen simulation using this
profile will be the same.
