You need to distinguish between the ink settings and black generation for the
press, and those for the inkjet. There is no direct relation between them,
except that one will related to the other when proofing the press on the
inkjet. Choose inkjet-based settings that work well on that particular
inkjet, with those inks, on that media. Be sure that all the color
adjustments in the internal RIP are shut off before printing the target...
this usually takes me about three tries for the 5000.
