OK. I was making a general example.
In your case, it seems that you have your friend print a testchart so that
you can help him profile his printer. We are not given precise details, but
if it's an inkjet without a dedicated RIP, then the testchart will have to
be in RGB.
In that case, make a copy of the testchart image file(s), and assign to it
(or them) an RGB profile (AdobeRGB, or ProPhoto RGB, or sRGB, for example:
it doesn't make a difference which you choose; just pick one).
Save the testchart with the embedded profile (a copy, of course), then open
it in Aperture, and select as your output profile the same profile
(AdobeRGB, or ProPhoto RGB, or sRGB) that is embedded in the testchart
file(s).
No conversion whatsoever will occur, as long as source and destination
profiles are exactly the same as one another.
