Digital BW, The Print

Can I ask a really dumb question here.  The instructions say "Using
the same process you use to print your images, print each target
....".  So I print the target using QTR(Gui), but I *DO NOT* convert
the target to the Gray Matte profile (which would be the normal
printing process), because this would change the underlying numbers in
the file, and invalidate the whole point of the exercise, right?  I
just leave it as AdobeRGB.
