the output profile is not used, only the calibration target is in use. If
you now send the testchart to the rip it will be printed without a profile.
When you have measured the testchart and downloaded the profile to the rip,
you will see that the simulations will work fine. EFI uses as default
relative colormetric between simulation and output. I hope this explains it

The point I was trying to make is any RIP should have a selectable
setting of none for profiles or a switch to turn off any color
management. This allows a user to build a profile, install it is the
RIP and call on it. It should not take hours of reverse engineering
the settings on the UI to figure these things out.

As a note: both the Roland Colorchoice RIP and Onyx 3.5 Postershop
don't allow the user to 'shut off' color management. Remove all the
output profiles from the Roland (Scanvec-Amiable manufactured) RIP,
it then allows a default to none. Onyx? I haven't had to yet, but the
premise is the same: disable by removal.
Dan's point is well put - any RIP SHOULD have a selectable setting for this.
