you're not doing anything wrong. this is just how the target prints 
out. the whole concept of profiling is to calibrate according to the 
limited potential of your printer. you will never get colors out of 
your printer that match the pure RGB of a monitor. it's all about 
finding the next best color match that your printer ink can produce. 
the target pushes the colors, then from the measurements the software 
adjusts the output via a completed profile. you have to proceed through 
the entire process and create a profile before you can see how a good 
profile can help you predict your output.
