By the way: try to generate new image (by printtarg) for Your instrument type 
and print the target with ACPU without opening the image by something else. 
Please, use -D key for printtarg.
I'm not sure that Your editing software didn't convert pixel values while 
opening and saving.

The test target was also printed with ACPU. I use ACPU because after some 
tests, 
seems that ACPU prints different than the PS CS4 disabling color 
management.

You've read MP_B01_396p64g3bArgyllv140_121011.ti3 (I'd recommend the reading in 
the strip mode, not patch-by-patch).

50.000000 [Lab] is out-of-gamut for Your printer. You can't check the tolerance 
by out-of-gamut colors. So, it's Lab value was replaced by the nearest possible 
(by xicclu -fif then -ff): 46.397 13.620 42.779
