 This way we reach a TIC in neutral black that is 233%
(two hundred and 
thirty three)! In other words: we print neutral black with L=11 with 233%.
Note: This technology do not set the TIC limit to 233 for all colours, it 
is indvidual. A dark red can for example end up 244%. Normal ICC-profiles 
are in other words a compromise: the TIC will limit all colours to one top 
value for TIC.
One more example: for newsprint we have reached a TIC, for neutral black, 
around 180% with a better L-value then ISOnewspaper26v4 - but a dark red 
can in the same print reach 209%.
And so on. 
Nice figures but it's good to know how the CMYK combinations were created.
Maximum K of 100%? "Dark Red" in newsprint 244% with still cyan in it 
instead of K?
Or in other words how long and how wide are the GCR settings for these 
profiles?
