You tell it what settings were used on the target by setting them again when
building the profile, if you changed them in the interum.

Pretty much...

I think so, others seem to have concerns... <G>

does it work with a DTP41?
Yes, I use it with one fairly often, though I use a SpectroCam with it more
frequently.

Ink limiting that does not actually limit below what PRO does will be
invisible, and no problem. Other settings can be turned off if they
interfere, or used if beneficial.
And is it any good with difficult RGB profiles

Yes, but with any application, custom profiles for the 1270/80/90 can be
problematic if you can't choke the ink back enough to give good target prints
on a given media. The Matte media settings seem to be the best choice for
restricting ink. These are the areas where the CMYK profiling method, with
ink settings applied to the target, are so advantageous.

How does it deal with relative and absolute among all this?
Same as any other profile, by matching the white point to the media, or not,
as selected. It does have one really nice feature in allowing you to adjust
the preview white and black points at the time of profile building, so that
Photoshop's Ink black and paper white preview features can be corrected when
building the profile, rather than having to edit them later.
