It has been awhile but I'll see if I can help. I am going from memory. If it is a Pro Model with the CP2000 touch screen interface go to the service menu and find the chacteristic curves screen. Try this out with a new job with a fair amount of coverage. Saved job ink profiles cannot be altered. You will see 9 memory spots M1, M2 etc. and a spot for One with an R is for basic settings. Select one of M labeled memories (M9) and select a color eg. yelo. Just try this out to see if it works. Select the percentage key and raise the values by 100% and save them with the check mark to lock it in.
Now I will tell you to try something. De-select the memory you altered for yelo and select R basic setting. This is the one that allows you to select Basic High and Low. Load your job and then load your ink settings. You do not have to image. You will hear the keys move and set up. Take a look at the values on your screen and write down the sweep value and the key percentage value for all 12 keys just for the yelo just for reference.
Now go and select the memory that has the yelo modified M9 and reload the job and then load the ink settings. (Do not image). Check the values of the yelo and compare them to the basic settings. You should be able to see an increase of approx 100%. This can be done for all colors.
If you this from the Job Prep screen (Lilac Background) you can see the same effects and you won't have to image to see how it works. You can even view the ink profile on the Job Prep screen after you load the ink settings and then select the 3 dot ink icon.
Hope this helps, it is kind of hard to explain without being in front of it. Let us know how you make out.
