let's reframe the problem (if i understood it correctly; if not, just 
ignore my email :-).

eric needs to limit the ink coverage in his document.

he has been suggested to use a specific color profile that would enforce 
the limit and, in the same mail, has been suggested to target a pdf 
version that does not support transparencies.

i guess that what he should retain is that a color profile might help 
him limit the ink coverage (no idea if it is true, i'm no wizzard in the 
topic) and forget the whole thing about transparencies that was not what 
he was asking for.

anybody can help him further in the topic mentioned in the subject of 
the email?

ciao
