Two deciding factors come to mind : a) drying time and b) shadow detail.
On some presses, too much ink causes production delays because the sheet
remains wet for prolonged periods. So ink drying must be taken into
consideration when deciding TIL.
If ink drying is not a problem then I look at the point of diminishing
returns. By measuring increasing TIL targets (280%, 300%, 320% ...) it's
possible to tell where further addition of ink is not worth.
This being said, I use 320% for sheetfed offset and 300% for web offset.
Keep in mind, too, that 350% TIL is not a disaster per se, as long as it's
not use all over the sheet.
