First, clean your white tile with a mild cleanign agent, recalibrate  
on it, and measure the patch again. If the combination of paper  
whiteners and fluorescence in your yellow ink is extreme, and the  
patch still overflows, just read the slightly less saturated patch  
next to it instead; that far out its not going to make a difference.
