I too would think they have CMS of their own design. But at least Fuji
released profiles for free to softproof on monitor. Softproofing
before sending off a bunch of 11x14" files to print is very useful ;-)
I can ask my lab which has very competent staff if their D-LAB has an
softproofing ("printer") profile for use on my computer. I can send
you one too, if they have.
Having also downloaded the IT8.7 target in Lab colour space, I will
try to have it printed without any corrections and analyse it using
the www.coloraid.de freeware CMS software. I should be able to test
the resulting softproofing profile on several monitors including some
hw calibrated ones.

Getting the info is harder. Even the Fuji representatives know little.
If you want, I got a very nice test file from Fuji with many range of
skintones, gray levels and colours, which they offer together with a
print for testing your monitor/computer calibration. I could send it
to you.
