Robert--that's a lot of total ink! The higher the TIL is the greater
the need for GCR, which will greatly reduce the amount of CMY in dark
areas. But I would still reduce that 370 to 320 or so, then use a
moderate GCR. Frankly, unless you really know what you're doing and
have a compelling reason to customize your profile's black generation
I would just separate the images with the latest GRACoL or
appropriate SWOP profile, depending whether this web or sheetfed, or
one of the ISO profiles from ECI. I've used the ISO Web Ctd. many
times for Asian publications and have had fine results. Your mistake
is in asking the printer... Contact me offline if need more assistance.

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
