But I am puzzled. When I was reading patches (on the 225 patch
sample) the Lab reading shown near the lower left corner seems
reasonable, but the RGB values make no sense at all. They seem to be
related to the position on the chart, not RGB values. What is going
on here? What does this RGB mean?


The unprofiled RGB values are the numbers that were sent out to the printer (the red patch would be 255, 0, 0) while the Lab values relate to the measurements that are taken from the printed patches.
