Nice of them to document it :-(
It caught me out a few days ago, after recalling a previous 'workflow' and seeing 'Black Start 70', thought it had corrupted, so changed it to 30 and made a new profile which I found had no black in the mid-tones, DUH!
From the (NO) Help Menu:
' When the value is set to "0", black will be immediately available to the separation, and will result in the appearance of black in very light tones.'
Take care,
