I'm about to print the targets.

Printer is Canon ipf5100

In the printer's Color Match menu, I have set Color Management to OFF 
rather than one of the profiles.
Is this correct?

In my usual workflow, I print with Qimage.

Best regards,

Paul.

Yes. that's correct. You'll always need to set up the driver that
way: when you're printing targets; and also, when you're printing
using the profile that you build from the target measurements,
later on. You need to apply the profile INSIDE the printing application.
In Photoshop, that happens in the Print dialog. in QImage, you'd need
to be able to do the same thing there, too - it needs to have a place
in it's printing workflow for you to specifically apply the printer
profile by name, before the image data that's being printed ever
gets sent into the printer driver itself.
