Rick & others,
I am preparing a CMYK profile (using either Monaco Profiler or XRite Profile
Maker) for a printer in Asia. Long story, but let me move right to my
question.
When I ask them if I should use UCR or GCR Black Generation, and at what
settings, their eyes glaze over and they reply, "huh"? About the most info I
can get from them is to use 100% for Max Black Ink Available, and about 370%
Maximum Total Ink. So, I'm assuming then that I'd be best using the default
values? And if so, am I safer using GCR or UCR?
Thanks,
Bob

Have you experimented with the following workflow?
1) Use Custom CMYK to generate a separation with suitable GCR
2) Copy the image
3) Assign the desired profile (with unsuitable GCR)
4) Paste the image with the "Convert (preserve color appearance)" option
5) Set the pasted layer to Color mode
My limited experimentation shows this approach to be promising as a means of
establishing an alternate GCR for a separation.
